Wave creation via PPF not considering immediate wave release option

Hey guys,

we are faced with a strange system behaviour of wave handling. We have set the release method to 'B'. When I create a wave with this template in SCWM/WAVE transaction and save it the wave gets released as expected.

However, in standard PPF (/SCWM/WHR_WAVE_ASSIGN_NEW) on ODO level a new wave with the same template is created but not released immediately (at least the status is still on I - Iniitial and no WTs are created). I can release this wave manually and have the WTs created.

Now it gets even better -

when I create another ODO with same product which would find the same wave the system checks the wave created before (which I did not release manually in this example) but does not consider it as is "has been released already" (remember - the status says still 'Initial').

Anybody who was faced with a similar behaviour? Any idea which settings are missing to have a correct release in background?

thanks in advance!

Hendrik
