PO Release Resetting after Value Reduction

[Former Member]

Hi,

Although I searched through the forum but I was not able to find any practical answer to the query. When there is a value reduction of quantity or price in a PO, if after reduction PO doesnu2019t fall into another release strategy, POu2019s current release strategy doesnu2019t reset. Customer has such a demand that whenever a reduction occurs in a PO, it doesnu2019t have to fall into different strategy, all previous approvals should be reset and approval of PO should restart from the beginning. I also found that to complete such a requirement I need to use user exit ZXM06U22 but I couldnu2019t succeed to write the ABAP code.

Any idea, thought would be appreciated.

Thank you

Hi,

In case of reduction of value, Po never reset the release stategy unless and untill its come under other strategy. So to restict any change and to reset the release strategy you may use release indicator as 1. But plz note once the PO is release it will not allow to make any change it will through the error message. this may help you.

Hi Roy,

I donu2019t want to restrict any change on PO. If I set release indicator as 1 then it isnu2019t possible to interfere to PO and some useful fields such as last shipment, etc become out of use. All I need is when there is a value reduction on quantity or net price, although PO still remains into the same release strategy, all previous approvals should be reset.

Hi,

As I already mention in my reply that in case of deduction of valueof po release will not be reset because std. business does not required any approval for reduction in PO value. So that was the only way out. Else by using version mangagement you can try.

Hi,

When you reduce quantities or values the system only resets the release

if ANOTHER release strategy is determined for the lower quantity or the

lower value. If no other release strategy is determined by the reduction

of the amount or value, the system will keep already existing releases.

For example:

Once the approval has been made for 5.000 EUR there is no need to

re-approve it again till the total net amount is lower than 5.000 EUR.

(e.g. 2.500 EUR or 3.000 EUR)

The release indicator will only be reset if the total net value of

the PO is HIGHER than the old one (5.000 EUR).

This is the standrard behaviour.

For more information please refer to notes 662993 and 493900.

Hi

In continuation to scenario for this thread, Is there any way to configure both dollar amount and percentage both.

Requirement is if Value of PR increases more than 10% but it should not be more than $50.

Example : If PR is of amount $100 and two approvals required , first approver has approved it now before second approver approves amount got increased to $120 now this is more than 10% but as it is less than $50, SAP should not reset the release strategy. but in the same case if amount is $ 1000 and it got changed to $1110 then 10% check should work and SAP should reset the release strategy.

Input on this will be really helpful.

If we can not do this by customizing/ configuration then is the any exit, enhancement , BADI available to achieve this?

Thanks for help in advance.

Define how the system reacts if an internal or external purchasing document is changed after the start of the release procedure.

USE TCode OMGS==> release indicator ==> field changiable select value 6

Changeability of purchasing document during/after release .

also you should have different release strategies according to Total net order value.

hello

just thought -

is it possible to set the below indicators programitically when there is a reduction in po value after approval

Release Indicator - EKKO-FRGKE = B

Subject to Release- EKKO-FRGRL = X

Is there any way to update these indicators?
