Hi Sandip,

If a purchase requisition or an external purchasing document fulfills certain conditions, the document has to be approved before further processing can take place. The approval process can be replicated by an electronic release procedure. These release procedures automatically block the relevant documents

from further processing. A person in the release procedure can approve the document using release code. An already released document, can be cancelled with the same code, and the original release status is reinstated. The rejection of the approval can be made from transaction ME54N (Release Purchase Requisition), and

from transaction ME29N (Release Purchase Order),

The objectives of such an approval procedure may be to check that the material, quantity, and delivery date are in order and that the specified account assignment and source of supply are correct,

• For purchase requisitions, two release procedures are available:

With classification : This procedure enables you to release requisitions both item by item and in their entirety. When setting up new release procedures, you are advised to use procedures with classification only.

Without classification: With this procedure, purchase requisitions can only be released at item level.

The two procedures are mutually exclusive - that is, you must decide on one of these two alternatives.

There are two ways of releasing purchase requisitions:

Individual release:You release individual items of a requisition, or - if the requisition

must be released complete - the entire document. To execute the transaction, you must first enter your release code and the number of the blocked purchase requisition. The system then checks whether you have authorization to use the release code entered.

Collective release: You release all requisition items or all requisitions awaiting release by your release code at one time. To execute this transaction, you need only enter your release code.

hi,

The release strategy defines the approval process for purchase requisitions or external purchasing documents. The strategy specifies the release codes necessary and the sequence in which releases have to be effected. You can define a maximum of eight release codes.

The assignment of the release strategy to a requisition or a purchasing document is based on the release conditions.
