PR cannot be released via ME55

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

Unable to release the PR via ME55 Whenever PRs are changed , we have created a PR with 2 line items and deleted one of the line item but not able to release the same with ME55.

Header level Release strategy is maintained for PR.

Kindly guide how to release the changed PR via ME55.

Thanks & Regards.

Hi All,

Can any enhancement or any SAP note can be applied so that collective release can become possible..for PR with deleted line items.

Thanks & Regards.

Hi Anil,

Once an item is deleted in a purchase requisition which uses an

overall release strategy this document can't be released anymore

using ME55. But ME54 or ME54N could release it.

If the PR only contains the deleted item, it can not be released in

ME54 either. But it could be released in ME54N.

If the requisition is flagged closed before the release is performed

the requisition does not appear on transaction ME55. The system does

not display the closed Purchase Requisition in overall release ME55.

But it could be released in ME54 or ME54N.

This is how the system is designed.

Kind regards,

Hi Anil,

Please consider the definition of ME55 "Collective release":

You release All requisition Items or Complete requisitions that are

awaiting processing by your release code.

And also the definition of "the field overall release of PReq":

Determines that the items in a purchase requisition are ALL released at

at the same time (rather than individually).

That means:

If there are some items which can't be released (e.g. they are deleted),

the transaction ME55 can't be used - so you have to release over the

individual release.

There is a difference between overall release and collective release.

Overall release means that a purchase requisition is released on

header level and not on item level. Collective release means that

several purchase requisitions can be released at the same time.

When one line of a requisition subject to overall release is deleted

you are asked to use the "single release" functionality in transaction

ME54.

Once you delete a line item you must work with ME54(N) to release each

item. By deleting a line you effect the whole purchase requisition

hence collective cannot be used. This is the standard SAP functionality.

In this case, you have to individually release each requisition item

through transaction ME54(N).

Hi,

Changeability indicator is ' 4 ' in release indicator step.

Not able to release via ME55 but via ME54N release is possible.

Thanks & Regards.

Hi,

You might have selected the changeability indicator as 2 (changeable, no new release strategy) in release indicator step. Henceafter changing the PR release strategy is not triggering. Can select 3or 4 according to your requirement. Thanking you.
