Dear All,

Manually created PO and PREQ are subject to Release Strategies.

But the PREQ created by MRP are not subject to release strategy.

please help.

Hi Ajay,

May be you can enhanced your release strategy in PO to read field PR creation indicator ESTKZ as a characteristic in PO release strategy.

For doing this, you must eztend structure CEKKOZZ with field ESTKZ then you fill the data using userexit M06E0004

I hope this can help

Dear Viswanath,

as per your solution could you elaboarate how the system will distinguish that when the PREQ are generated by MRP, the PO will not have release strategy.

we are using following characteristics for

1) PO- Purchase Group, Order Type, Total net value

2) PREQ- Creation indicator for PREQ, MRP Controllers, Acccount Assignment, total value.

regards and thanks

Hi Ajay,

You are using Purchasing Group as one of the characteristics. In transaction: CL20N, input your release strategy, release group, class type -032. Press enter.

Then your class will appear in assignments. Double click on your class. Then you will get all the characteristics you are using for this class. Against characteristic 'Purchasing Group' select the purchasing groups for which release has to be effected. Here exclude the purchasing group you are using for MRP generated Purchase Requisitions.

In the MRP generated PR's there should be a separate Purchasing Group from the other PR's. Then when you create your PO with reference to PR, this Pur. Grp will be copied to ur PO. Then release strategy will not be applicable as this Pur. Grp is excluded when you r maintaining the characteristic values.

While creating characteristics for Pur. Grp - Multiple entries to be selected.

Hope this clarifies.

Thanks,

Hi Ajay,

For MRP generated PR's use a different Purchasing Group(Depending on the requirement, u can either use material group). In the release strategy of PO, include Purchasing Group as one of the characteristic in the class.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
