PO release strategy

[Former Member]

Dear All,

What is the use of fields USRC1,USRC2 etc in comm structure CEKKO. Can we use these fields directly in PO release strategy i.e. can we assign these fields in any characteristics.

Can anybody elaborate the user of these fields?

In standard design system only considers characteristics from

CEKKO structure for release strategy consideration. But it will not

stop us in selecting the other characteristics.

Please go through the IMG help of release strategy, will give good

information.

I think you have already read the note:

The characteristics of the class used must all be linked to the

corresponding fields of structure CEBAN or CEKKO (for purchase

orders)...."

Characteristics which are created for the release strategy with

classification MUST access communication structures CEBAN or CEKKO since

during the strategy determination, the system cannot access any other

tables or structures.

If the characteristics refer to fields which are not contained in

structures CEBAN or CEKKO, the corresponding fields can be added to

communication structure CEKKOZZ or CEBANZZ, or an append structure can

be created for CEKKO or CEBAN in which new fields can be included.

If you want to use new defined fields as part of the

release strategy clasification, you should use enhancement M06E0004

(User exit "exit_saplebnd_002").This user exit allows you to use the

user fields in strucure CEKKO to include additional data.

Use the user fields of this structure: USRC1, USRC2, USRN1 or USRN2 and

control them through user exit "EXIT_SAPLEBND_002. Otherwise new field

will not work.

Hi ,

This fields you can use in characteristics but in PO you have use enhancement M06E0004 to pass data to this fields so that it will be use in indentifying the correct release strategy based on value you have to assign to this fields in classification tab .

Hi,

The 2 fields above is used if you want to use fields that are not available in the CEKKO structure.

Eg, you want to use account assignment as a characteristic in PO release strategy. After creating the characteristic, you assign CEKKO as the table and USRC1 as the field at the Additional data tab.

Then an abaper can make use of enhancement M06E0004 / userexit EXIT_SAPLEBND_002 to pass the PO item account assignment value to USRC1 in the coding.

After that, you may use this characteristic as an account assignment to determine the release strategy in the config.

Thanks
