Release strategy for purchase requisition does not kick in

2060 Views

Hi Gurus!

I've been struggling with this issue for some weeks now.

I have set up the release strategy configuration for purchase requisitions with classifications.

However, if I create a purchase requisition the release functionality is not taken into account by the system.

See below some more information regarding my configuration:

1. I've created a new characteristic "REL_PR_GROUP". Status: released, Multiple values, Number of Chars 3, 7 values (TR1, TR2, TR3....TR7), Table name: CEBAN, Field name: EKGRP, Procedure for value assignment set to not ready for input.

2. I've created a new class: "REL_PR_ANPC". Class type 032, Status: released, Same classification: do not check, Char: "REL_PR_GROUP"

3. I have one release group "T1", Rel. object 1, OverReqRel is marked, Class: "REL_PR_ANPC"

4. I have 5 release codes. Grp: T1, Code: 01....05

5. I have 2 release indicators:

"R = Released", Rel. for ordering is marked, Changeabil: 4, Value chgs. 100,0

"X = Blocked", Changeabil: 4, Value chgs. 100,0

6. I have 1 release strategy:

"T1 with Grp T1"

- one release group, 01 Manager

- release prerequisites not applicable because of only one release group

- release status, nothing marked = blocked, 01 marked = released

- classification, purchasing group is TR1 or TR2 or TR3 or TR4 or TR5 or TR6 or TR7

I intentionally kept the configuration as simple as possible so I can try to get it working first.

Now if I create a purchase requisition for an item with release group T1, I would expect the release strategy to be activated. However, this is not the case. I don't see the "release status" tab in the PR, and if I try to relase via ME54 the system says the PR is not relevant for release.

Could you please assist in getting this working?
