Purchase Requisition Release Problem

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have a release procedure set up, and the strategy pulls up correctly when a PR is made. When I view collective release from ME55, the PR's show up, and I am able to release line items from that screen. However, when viewing the PR from ME53N, in the Release Procedure tab there is no green check next to the release code with which to release the line. Also, if I do release the PR from ME55, I cannot go to ME53N and cancel the release from the Release Procedure tab.

I am a user with all security access, so it is not an authorization role problem. The release group is also configured to release by line item, so that is not the problem. I have set up other release procedures which allow the release/cancel release function from ME53N before... what could be the problem this time?

Thanks,

J

Individual PR release transaction is ME54 and not ME53N.

Try ME54

It is possible to release an individual PR from ME54 as well as ME55. However, as per our business requirements, the users who will be releasing the PR will be in screen ME53N. They will be adding information to the PR, and when they are finished they will release the PR for purchasing.

I know that this is possible through this screen, and I have other release groups which show this functionality. In the Release Strategy tab, the Release group, strategy, and code are all listed. In the line where the code is listed, there should be a green check mark next to the Status field. This is not appearing for me for some reason with this release group.

hi.

There are two ways of releasing purchase requisitions:

Individual release (Tcode - ME54)

You release items of an individual purchase requisition or - if the requisition has to be released in total - by releasing one item you simultaneously release all the others.

Collective release (Tcode- ME55)

You release all requisition items or complete requisitions that are awaiting processing by your release code. This is the preferred method if you frequently have to effect release.

Display PR -with release status (Tcode-ME53N)

One can only see release status in ME53N & can not change release.

hope it helps to you.

Very odd how I gained functionality that no one seems to have heard of... in line item data ME53N (or actually ME52N, I believe) there was a green check to release each release code if you wanted to release that code. Also, if there was a code released, there was a pushbutton to cancel release next to the "Combi. final release" pushbutton at the lower left of the codes and descriptions.

But, I will take it from the experts that we must use ME54 or ME55 for the release, thank you for the responses!

Hi,

ME53N is the transaction code to display the PR, you can not change anything through ME53N and also we can not release the PR from ME53N...thats a reason the green check next to the release code in ME53N is not apearing.
