1 Cannot be changed

If you set this Release Indicator You cannot Change the Purchase Order once it is Released. Whenever you try to Change the po in ME22N it will be in Display mode only and Throw Error Message Like PO is already Released, Changes Not Possible.

2 Changeable, no new determination of strategy

If you set this Release Indicator You can Change the Po after Release in ME22N and It wont Ask for New Release Strategy.

3 Changeable, new release in case of new strategy

If you set this Release Indicator You Can Change the PO after Release but Again it will be Subject to Release Strategy. You should release the same po again.

4 Changeable, new release in case of new strat. or val. change

5 Changeable, new release if new strategy/outputted

6 Changeable, new rel. if new strat. or value change/outputted

Changeable, new release in case of new strategy

If you set the above Release Indicators You can Change the PO after Release but Again it will be Subject to Release Strategy as per the Changeability Values Settings.

Specifies the release status of a purchase requisition. The release indicator specifies whether:

The purchase requisition is fixed (that is, it will not be changed again by material requirements planning)

An RFQ or a purchase order can be created for the requisition

Use

The release indicator is determined at the time of creation via the release strategy that applies to the purchase requisition.

hi

release indicator:

When a requisition or an external purchasing document has been processed via a release code, a release indicator is assigned to it.

When the system sets which release indicator is defined in the Customizing facility for Purchasing (in the release strategy via the release statuses).

this means when the release code does his activity then what will be the status of the purchasing document.

you can go through the following link to understand it in details
