Retrigger Release Strategy in Purchase order

[former_member453864]

Hi Experts,

We have a requirement to re-trigger the release strategy (after it is approved) in the Purchase order, when the payment terms is changed in the PO. We have added payment term to CEKKO structure (as USRC1 field) and we have maintained the changeable parameter as 4 (shown below) for Release ID 'G'. However, we are not able to retrigger the approval process (it can be the same release strategy which was approved earlier) and get the PO back in blocked status.

Please guide me.

Thank you.

Adding a field to CEKKO is not enough to reset release strategy, you've to add your own logic by call FM "ME_REL_STRATEGIE_EKKO".

For the same you can use Enhancement M06B0002, EXIT_SAPLEBND_001, ZXM06U13.

Hi Rosh,

Thanks for your input. Actually, I missed to mention that the enhancement to populate the Payment term value from the PO to USRC1 field was already done and we are able to determine the release strategy based on the Payment term at the 1st instance (creation) & before the PO is released for the 1st time .

However, we are not able to re-trigger the release strategy (may be the same release strategy) and get the PO back in blocked status. Can you please throw some light on this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

There are only two reasons for this:

1) You are not triggering any change in the PO as per the release strategy. Please check whether this strategy works in your Test system (by creating a new PO and following the entire approval sequence). You can refer the sap note 493900 - FAQ - point no.16.

2) Your release strategy configuration or the code (user-exit) is not working correctly as per the desired requirement. In this case, you may have to debug the scenario using Abaper or recheck your configuration or code whichever may be the case.

regards,

Bala
