Hi,

In my case I created:

1) characteristic Z_GSWRT with values <1000,00 and <=1000,00 (Total Value of Item);

2) characteristic Z_BSART (Purchase Requisition Document Type);

3) class PRQ_RELEASE and I linked the above char. (view char.);

4) release group RA, class PRQ_RELEASE;

5) release codes: Grp RA code 01, and Grp RA code 02;

6) release strategies Grp RA Rel. Strat 01 (total value of item <1000,00) release code 01 and Grp RA Rel. Strat 02 (total value of item <=1000,00) release code 01 and 02.

7) Release prerequisites (nothing to set:

😎 classification set NB as document type and total value of item <1000

9) Release prerequisites mark Code 02

10) Classification set NB as document type and total value of item >=1000

Now if each item has total value <1000 there will be only one responsible who releases, if each item has total value >=1000 then there will be two responsible who release.

Is it your release strategy is really work I mean whether it is getting triggered or not?

I guess it won't unless you correct the price characteristics.

Try to maintain some thing like <1000

Second level like >1000 and some thing like that.

Hello Sapione,

U can create the Release Strategy for a PR using the Trnx Me54n or Me54.

Set Up Procedure Without Classification

In this step, you can set up release procedures for purchase requisitions.

For release purposes, you must define strategies, which the SAP System sets up taking the following into consideration:

account assignment category

material group

plant

purchase requisition value

Note

If you define a release strategy dependent on the account assignment

category, you must maintain all possible combinations of plant and

material group for each account assignment category.

Standard settings

The release procedure without classification is predefined in the standard SAP System.

Activities

1. Decide whether you wish to make use of the automatic release option.

2. If you do not wish to work with automatic release, you must delete all table entries.

For requisitions, you can use either the release procedure WITHOUT classification (procedure 1) or the one WITH classification (procedure 2). Procedure 2 gives you considerably more flexibility in determining the strategy.

If you have previously worked with procedure 1, for example, but now wish to switch to procedure 2, you must at least define the release group for procedure 2. As soon as you have saved this, procedure 2 is active. If you wish to work with procedure 1 again, it is enough to delete the release group.

If you wish to work with procedure 1, define the following:

Release codes

Release indicators

Assignment of release indicators

Release prerequisites

Determination of release strategy

1. Release codes

Create the release codes.

2. Release indicators

Define release indicators and branch to the detail screen. Here you define whether fixed purchase requisitions may be changed by Materials Planning, for example, and whether an RFQ or a purchase order may be created from the requisition.

You can also determine the field selection here.

In the area "Changes after the start of the release procedure", you specify whether a requisition may be changed after the release procedure has begun. You specify whether the strategy has to be redetermined after changes, or whether the release procedure has to start all over again from the beginning.

This parameter bears a relation to the parameter "Value change". For example, previous releases are not cancelled if the value of the requisition item after the change does not exceed plus 10% of its original value.

Attention:

Be sure to create a release indicator (e.g. B for "blocked") that serves as the starting point for subsequent indicators. Do not set the indicators for release for the issue of RFQs and PO on the detail screen for this indicator.

Also create a release indicator characterizing the released status. Set the indicators for release for the issue of RFQs and PO on the detail screen.

3. Assignment of release indicators

Assign a release indicator in dependence on the status of the release.

Example:

You create a release strategy S1 consisting of two release codes 01 and 02. Release with 01 is a prerequisite for release with 02. If release has been effected with 01, the requisition has been given the "all clear" for the issue of RFQs.

You have created the release indicators B (blocked), 1 (cleared for issue of RFQs) and 2 (cleared for RFQs and PO).

Now enter the following as assignment:

Strategy C1 C2 C3 ...

S1 B (blocked)

S1 X 1 (RFQ)

S1 X X 2 (RFQ/PO)

4. Release prerequisites

Define which release codes are involved in a release strategy. Specify whether a code is set for a release status following release, and whether one release status is a prerequisite for another (+).

Example:

Strategy Code C1 C2 C3 ...

S1 01 X

S1 02 + X

5. Determination of the release strategy

Determine the conditions under which each release strategy is assigned. The criteria are account assignment category, material group, plant, and value of the requisition item.
