PR (Header level) release strategy not working

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have configured release procedure for PR - Header level release(i.e. With classification). My scenario is as below,

If PR value is <=1000 INR and Plant 1000 Two persons will release the PR. I.e., Release codes A1 and A2.

If PR value is >1000 INR and Plant 1000 Three persons will release the PR. I.e., Release codes A1,A2 and A3.

i have created Two charac(for Plant and Value), one class(Assigned the characs to it), one group, 3 release codes, and 2 Release stratergies (i.e.S1 and S2). All the settings are fine. But when I create PR, system takes only the first Release stratergy by default. That is irrespective of the valuation price in PR system by default takes S1 release stratergy only. Even for higher value PR system is not taking S2 stratergy. I have given correct values in the classification field. Why does this happen? Release procedure without classification is not configured.

Note: I have even ticked overall release for document type NB

Any inputs? Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

The issue is solved now. The reason behind is I was using CEBAN-GSWRT instead of CEBAN-GFWRT.Its working fine now.

Thanks all of you who has responded me. If any clarifications i can reply further to.

Hi,

It seems that the strategy you defined does not consider the value.

Please check the charactarystic for value and additional data tab the assignment of CEBAN-GSWRT field.

Hi all,

First thanks all of you for your immediate response.

I am using same release indicator for S2 as like i used in S1. For S1, Code A1 - Blocked(Indicator X), A2 - Released( Indicator - R).

For S2 Code A1 - Blocked(Indicator X), A2 - Blocked(Indicator X), A3 - Released( Indicator - R).

I have not used release indicator 2 in my case. I hope the release indicator settings and the release prerequisite is fine.

Indranil,

Whether we need to give separate release indicators for 2nd stratergy?

Generally we use release indicator X (Blocked) & 2 (RFQ/purchase order)

Hi all,

One thing is clear now. System is not all considering the value characteristics. Its only considering Plant character(WERKS). Thats why by default its taking first release stratergy since both have plant value as 1000 in classification view.

Just now i checked by using sinlge character. For release class with plant as character the release procedure is working fine but for class with value as character release is not at all getting hit.

Note:

1.My company code currency is EUR. My characteristic currency is USD. While i create PR in valuation price system by default selects EUR. I am manually changing it to USD. Is that correct?

2. Still my new posting period is not yet open.

Is there the problem is somethig related to above?

What is the field you are using while creating the characteristic for Value?

Hi,

Check the Class & Characs are correctly assigned and check the Material Code --> Classification View and choose Material class.

Here the classification should match with your requirement.
