You need a relatively minor enhancement Logic to define a Header Material Group. I'd suggest calculate value per item/Material Group and then summarise per Material Group Highest value st as Material Group for PO.

Or you could go down the PO item release route (not a good way to go . . .)

Hi Aarti,

The release strategy will not work for material group for PO because material group is at item level. The Item level release is possible for PRs.

The release strategy is possible in PO at header level fields only.

Dear All,

So it is confirm that release strategy will not work for the items level fields ( Material group). It will wrk only for header level fields.

you can bring the value of material group from the item level ( may be the first line data or which is the maximum among all line items etc ) to the user field USRC1, 2 etc in CEKKO table by means of an enhancement and use it for release strategy.

Hi Arati,

You haven't mentioned that you are talking about release of PO's. For PR's, there's release strategy on item level.

Assuming that you are talking about PO's, there's user exit (trs SMOD) M06E0004 provided for "pulling" the item fields to the release stategy. Your coding in this user exit shall scan the material groups from all the items provided in IT_BEKPO-MATKL and fill the resulting material group in E_CEKKO. Before that, you shall copy I_CEKKO to E_CEKKO in order to copy over all the other fields on the header level.

If there are different material groups on different items, your coding will have to decide which one to place in the E_CEKKO - only one material group can be placed there. So if you want to have a release strategy like "if only mtrl grp A in the PO -> A1 shall release; if only mtrl grp B -> B1 shall release; if mtrl grps A and B in the PO -> both A1 and B1 shall release", then I doubt this user exit will help you.

Hi,

Thnks a lot!!!

We hav tried the soln given by you and it is working fine for the particular company code. But other company code we hav not made chnage related to material group, but it has affected as release srtaegy is not coming for other company codes.

Is that it wl affect the other company code?

Hi Arati,

If the company code is not one of the characteristics in the class telling the release strategy, then obviously your release strategies will apply across comp. codes. So you need to add a chacteristic for the comp. code based on the field BUKRS.

Release strategy with material group won't work for PO as material group is at item level & release for PO at header level.

Hi,

You should two different Release Characteristics CEKKO- MATKL (Material Group) & CEKKO- EKGRP (Purchasing Group) and add these Release Characteristics with other Release Characteristics in the Release Class.

In strategy, you need to add all other Values (Characteristic criteriau2019s) with Value of Material Group & Purchasing Group in classification.

Hi,

In PO may have multiple number of line items with different material groups!

In strategy, keep BLANK value for Material Group in classification segment & save and simulate the release.

Now try creating PO with multiple number of line items with different material groups, check the difference & how release strategy triggering.
