SAP MM- PR release Strategy

[former_member472328]

Question regarding the Release strategy determination with multiple P groups on the Purchase requisition.

Business Requirements: Enable the release strategy at header level with the combination of plant/Pgroup/$ value. Maintained record in CL20N transaction with plant/pgroup/$ value to determine the release strategy. For the below case release strategy is not getting determined on the PR. - if the PR is created with two different PGroups example line item 10 -- 003 and line item 20 -- 004 release is not getting triggered. I have my record maintained in CL20N transaction with below combination Plant - 8050 Pgrp - 003 Pgrup -004 $ value 10,000 to 100000 Any inputs/suggestions/recommendations please advise.

Hi,

If you have header level release strategy for PR and if there are two different values for a characteristics in the item level, system will return blank value for the characteristics in the header level. In such cases, the release will be triggered if there is a strategy with blank value assigned for the particular characteristics. This is standard functionality.

If you have chances of having multiple values for one release characteristics, you need to suggest item level release strategy for PR.

Hi There,

You can check release procedure in spro, use that and check what is cause of this inconsistency!

Hi Subramanyam,

Kindly please tell me your release strategy is working for same purchase group.

If it is not working for same purchase group, then go to,

SPRO-->Material Management-->Purchase Requisition-->Document type-->tick overall release check box in your document type.

Thanks for your valuable inputs Lakshmipathi.

In CT04 Transaction here is the entry already maintained table CEBAN Field Name EKGRP maintained for Pgroup characteristic .

Ask is to enable the release strategy @ Purchase requisition document only.

Not sure what exactly the difference between CEKKO and CEBAN.

Do want us to use the CEKKO table instead of CEBAN ?

Thanks

CEKKO is used for purchase order & CEBAN is used for purchase requisition.

[Lakshmipathi]

Consider grouping all Purchase Groups as a Characteristics and in CT04, you can make use of table CEKKO with field EKGRP
