Purchase Order not subject to release strategy for contract rel. strategy

[Former Member]

Hello, I am trying to set release strategy for contracts (TCODE: ME31K). I have created characteristic, which use table CEKKO and field name BSTYP in Addnl data tab. I have checked values, and they are correct. Then I have assigned in release strategies in classification view value contract. But when I try to check release strategy in ME31K with green flag, it display error: Purchase Order not subject to release strategy. (I have tried to do the same strategy in purchase order, of course with value Purchase order, and it works nice).

So I have checked this release strategy with this codes:

CL24N ok,

CT04 ok,

CL30N ok,

CL20N ok,

Release simulation in release strategy works,

Then I found out that I should check SE38, SE37 but I do not understand how to use them (according: Purchasing Document Not Subject to Release Strategy).

Thank you for your help in advance.

What is the classification value you have used for your release strategy ?

As you are using the field BSTYP - Purchasing Document Category, then you should have to use different value for PO and contract.

Go to EKPO table, you will find the value for field BSTYP - Purchasing Document Category

F = Purchase order and K = Contract.

Hi,

classification value is Contract.

I have tried it with EKPO BSTYP, result is the same.

I haven't said to use EKPO table in characteristics. You have to use CEKKO - BSTYP in characteristics.

I've just said the compare the value which you have given in Release strategy - Classification and EKPO table for the particular contract.

Also compare your release strategy settings with many existing documents in SCN.

Check your Classification should be like that.

You may see the error message in ME31K. Just save the contract then go to ME32K/ME33K or ME35K you can see the release strategy will effect for the contract.

Hi,

   You may also check the KBA: 1497235 - Release strategy is not determined for Purchase Requisition in t-code ME51(N)/ME52(N) or P... and  1888495 - Release strategy does not trigger with future price

from where did you get this info "Then I found out that I should check SE38, SE37 but I do not understand" ? Maybe there is some info missing

SE38 and SE37 without knowing the name of the report or function module is useless
