PO release strategy

[Former Member]

Hi all,

how to make the PO release strategy to trigger new release for both quantity and value change?

Already we are using Release indicator as 6 and new release is triggering for value change, i need to get a new release if the qty/value change is less than the previous amount / quantity.

since our users are changing(increasing) the price and decrease the qty so that no release is triggering.

How to control this?

Regards

Mike.

Hi,

This is called negative testing .

but generally it does not happen in business .

see ...

release will be effected only when the value changes ( whether u change qty or price , which effects value )

to restrict the price changes abnormally , pls maintain tolarance limit for price variations in purchasing

configuration :

MM-purchasing -PO -define tolarnce limits for price variations

Hello Mike,

Setting up 'CEBAN.GSWRT' as a characteristics should serve the purpose.

set up different release strategies like

R1 <=10000

R2 >100000-<20000

R3 >200000

If a PR having a value 21000 was changed to say 150000, then the release startegy changes from R3 to R1.

Hi,

as you have mentioned that you have enteredrelease indicator as 6 which is ok, did you kept it's status as released, and did you maintained any changeability this defines how system will react if you change the document and next setting would be tolerance for value change, it decided two things.

--Adjust the amount of the change so that the percentage value is not exceeded, the release procedure continues from its current point.

--Leave the change as it is (disregarding the system message)

The release procedure is re-started from the beginning.

you will get this detail in help for the same.

hope this clears your point.

Hi

You may plan to have a characteristic which is a multiple of Quantity and Value. If this value changes then release needs to be activated.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi

One question.. After the PO is released for the first time, is the price field being deactivated ( changing to non-editable mode ) in the PO? If this is the case, you should not be facing any issue since the only field that is allowed to be changed is Quantity.

I didnt fix any tolerance limit with the indicator also . Please suggest me.

Hi Mike,

As told earlier the Release strategy will not trigger in case of reduction of value which is a standard functionality of SAP .Logically also ,since the old value has been approved by the releasing authorities any reduction as comming under same old value release strategy is not triggered again in case of reduction of value. To restrict change of quantity or value once the PO is released you can use the Changeability Indicator 1 in the Release Indicator colomn .This will not allow any change to the PO once it is released.

Thanks Dhruba,

we have three level with 2 strategies that is , below 50000 inr will be released by one level and if it is above 50000 inr three level has to release .Once the third level released there should not be any changes in the quantity and value of the PO.

How to map it ? since if we are giving 1 means we cannot the change the doc in terms of delivery date etc..( often liable to change)

please guide me .

Regards

Mike.

Hi Mike,

If you are using three Release Indicators against each level than make the changeable value to 6 for first two level .For the final level indicator make it 1.This will facilitate the requirement of any change of Delivery Date and any other field even after the first two releasing authorities released the document .But will not allow any change once the final releasing authority releases the document.Please note that the changeability indicator 1 to 4 is only used for PR.But 1-6 are used for PO/Contract etc.

Hi,

PO will not go under release strategy again if PO value or qty is decreased.

For this you need to go for ABAP development.
