PO release strategy change after ME22N

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Is it possible to trigger a new release strategy when a PO is changed in ME22N?

For ex

When PO value < 5000 INR , only buyer B1 releases after the PO is created , if the same PO is changed in ME22N and the PO value is raised to 5500 INR , then new strategy should be triggered then the release is as follows,

B1 - Buyer - First release

M1- Manager - Second release

V1 - VP - Final release

Please let me know how to achieve this in SAP

Thanks

Benny

Hi,

Cretae two separate release strategies for <5000 and > 5000.

Rel strategy 01 < 5000 = B1

Rel Strategy 02 > 5000 = B1 + M1 + V1

Hi,

Keep two values in the value characteristics

<= 5000.00 INR & >5000.00 INR

& add value characteristics with other characteristics in release class

Create Release Group & three release codes {B1 - Buyer, M1- Manager & V1 - VP)

Keep changiability indicator 4 or 6 in designing release indicator

Create two strategies T1 & T2

AND

Keep value <= 5000.00 INR with release code B1 u2013 Buyer in strategies T1

&

Keep value >5000.00 INR with release codes B1 - Buyer, M1- Manager & V1 - VP in strategies T2

Now create PO(ME21N) or change PO(ME22N), based on value the release strategy will trigger.

Hi Benny,

As Bijay said, you have to follow 4 steps:

1- Value/Price must be a characteristic in classification (CEKKO-GNETW). If not, you have to add it.

2 - Create to separate release strategy:

A - One <= 50.000 with just B1 release code

B - two > 50.000 with B1; M1; VP or M1; VP or VP, as you prefer.

3 - If you dont have created release code, you have to do it: SPRO - Material management - Purchasing - Purchase order - Release procedur for purchase orders - Define release procedure for purchase orders - Create release code.

4 - It is very important set release indicator 4 or 6. The difference between 4 and 6 is:

4: It will retrigger a new release strategy in case there is a value change.

6: It will retrigger a new release strategy in case there is a value change. But this has an additional condition. If the PO has been outputted (printed), you can still retrigger.

So as an example, if you have set 4 in your release indicator, and you are trying to change value for a PO that has been outputted, it will NOT retrigger.

Hope it helps.

Hi Bijay,

We have the following release strategies in our system

S1 - LT or EQ 5000 - Release code - B1 Buyer

S2 - GT 5000 LT 100000 - Release code - B1 Buyer + P2 Manager

S3- GT 100000 - Release code - B1 Buyer + P2 Manager + V1 VP

The scenario is like this , i am creating a PO for <=5000 and saving it ,then release strategy S1 gets triggered. The PO is released by B1 Buyer , In the same PO after released in ME22N if i change value to 5050 , i dont want release strategy S2 to be triggered , but want strategy S3 to be triggered.

In a simple manner , my client wants release to get triggered to S3 even for small amount change.

Dear all.

Expecting your valuable inputs for this PO release procedure. Is it possible to control release strategies in authorzation object for buyer ? or in transaction level ?

Thanks
