Purchasing Release strategy in Shipment Cost

[Former Member]

Hy collegues,

i need some information about Purchasing Release strategy in shipment cost.

1° question: Release strategy on Service entry sheet document

Is it possible set the Release strategy on Service entry sheet document?

I have just created a release strategy on Service entry sheet but when i transfered the costs with transfert field on Shipment Cost document in VI02 the system didn't feel the Release Strategy on service entry sheet and trasfered the cost in FI/CO.

2° question: Release strategy on Purchase document

Because of the point one I try to set a release strategy on Purchase Order (on purchase order type that i create when transfering the shipment costs).

When i transfered the costs with transfert field on Shipment Cost document in VI02 the system felt the Release Strategy. Infact the purchase order was create without service entry sheet document and good receipt but, in this case, i lost the link from Shipment Cost and the created purchase order.

This in correct, this is a standard behavior???....if this is correct, how will the user (that release the purchase document) release the document if he don'tknow the Shipment cost linked??

Thanks for your precious help.

Dear Piera,

Please refer note 844752.

This note removes former OSS note 611846. As a result, the automatic

processing of shipment costs should be used WITHOUT release strategy.

This will be STANDARD now for releases 46B, 46C, and 470!!

The release strategy will not be triggered if the KZABN = X,

this is the standard functionality.

I hope this note will clarify your doubt.

Dear Rakesh,

in this way you tell me that in automatic processing of shipment costs i can't use release strategy on service entry sheet?

I think that this is an absurdity system's limit!!

Do you have any suggestion for me about my second question?

Thanks you.

Dear Piera:

I also met the same scenario.

there are two related notes release about this. notes:611846,844752.

The first seems amend that release stra. could be found during transfer, but the second seems to revoke the former.

I also assume this as a absurd amendment, cause the customer is yielding strong on this function. they want to set a control point on financial before really generating the FI document.

Did you solve the problem?Is so, could you please provide some tips on this.

Many thanks!
