Can a release strategy be based on a formula?

[Former Member]

Hi,

A retail client i'm working on wants the release strategy PO to be based on a formula, i.e. the release strategy should have OTB check.

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance for your help

Hi,

What is "OTB check"

You can use user exit ZXM06U13 to realize your own idea...

Open-to-Buy (OTB). It refers to the available budget that can be allocated to buyers for PO's.

When creating/ changing a PO, can the release strategy use a formula to check OTB against the PO value to determine if there's sufficient budget available for the PO?

Hi,

Thanks, I didn't know what OTB means.

I do not know how this OTB is maintained in the system (is it development?) but I assume it should be stored in a data table (data tables). If it is so, I think you should be able to extract it (this data) via the ABAP code in the mentioned user exit - but this is just my opinion, it's better you ask your ABAPer to check it in a sandbox system.
