Release strategy

[v_s6]

Hi All,

I have created a release strategy with 3 characteristics with class XYZ for PO.

1. Plant

2. Target QM system field in materia master

3. Returns indicator in PO

For characteristic 2 & 3 two fieds were inserted into CEKKO programmatically. This release strategy is working fine.

Now I want to create a new release strategy for PO which should be triggered only if there is particular purchasing grp in the PO. But when I try create a new release strategy with a new class the system gives me an error that for overall release only one class is allowed. The existing class XYZ does not have my required characteristic of pruchasing grp. Even when I created a new characteristic Pgrp and added to XYZ and configured the new release startegy by mainatining only the value for Pgrp it is not getting triggered.

Am I missing something or is there some different method to do this?

Hello V S,

You create character for Pur Gp and add the same to XYZ class. Create new release strategy and mention the values in the classification using cl20n and try.

Note: you have to maintain the pur group values while creating the characteristics itself.

If you create one more class the system will through error u2026u2026. (See long text).

Hi,

Try this,it should be works

Create two release group R2 and R3

And assign below mentioned classed to created release group R2 and R3 respectively. Once class is assigned then create 2 release strategy and then maintain the characteristics as required.

1. Plant

2. Target QM system in material master

3. Retruns indicator in PO

and for the other the charetstics are

1. Plant

2. Pruchasing group

I have tried above scenario in my dev server,its working fine.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

Just follow as Sandesh Sawant mentioned above ,apart from that Assign two different release strategies to release group.

That release group must assign to class.

Thanks.

but in my system I cannot assign two different classes to two different release groups. Are you trying this for release startegy of PR or PO.

My case is of release strategy for PO

Hi,

Create a new release strategy with the values Plant and Purchasing group...you can not assign more than one class for one document.

if I create a new release strategy should I not assign values to

1. Target Qm system in material master

2. Returns indicator in PO??

as these charcteristics are nor relevant for the other release strategy but still appear in classification as they are part of the original class

[Former Member]

Hi,

This is purely depends on your requirement and it will show you characteristics only not values...it won't be a problem...

Maintain characteristic values thru cl24n for new strategy...

Hi,

You assign different release groups into one class which will have your all required characteristics. Now, create two different release strategy for two different release groups and delete the characteristics in classification which are not required from the respective release strategy. This will resolve your purpose.

Hi,

For puchasing document, only one class can be used. Please see SAP Note 365604 - FAQ: Release strategies in purchasing

Hi,

First you have to delete existing strategies, then, class assignment, and next delete charactteristics assignment to Class. Then make fresh configuration with new characteristic assignment to Class, and other normal release config steps in sequence.
