PO/PR release strategy using BRFplus

[kersra]

Hello Gurus,

we would like to create a complex release strategy for PO and PR, where the standard customizing is not flexible enough.

I would like to know if someone already used BRFplus in this case to use the workflow release strategy via user exit to call a BRFplus application?

Or are there some other expierence to build a flexible release strategy?

Thanks a lot

Hi Ralph,

As per as i Know the BRF+ is not comes with ECC, It Must need Plug in your system  it it applicable for instance like MDM,MDG, SRM ,  also as per as  BRF+ is concern it applicable for The Business Object That mean even if it applicable it will not for PO release procedure . 

so it mean If you have data model as Purchase order and you apply BRF+ then all PO will go for Release rather then ECC  Release procedure  according some criteria.

BRF+ is part of the NetWeaver layer and therefore available in context of any ABAP based application. Even applications based on other servers may use it thru web services or NW DSM with a partner plugin (translates the rules into other languages such as JAVA).

Hi Carsten,

my initial intention was to connect the BRF+ application, which is available in standard abap stack, to the MM application thru user exits. As we don't have the know how in house for BRF+, we decided to skip the idea and to develop it in a classical way. For the future it would be gread to have an idea how BRF+ can be connected in every user ext / Badi. Can we use simple the method (connected to the BRF function) descirebed in the SAP Press BRF+ book or are there recommandations for such a scenario.

Best regards

Hi Ralph,

Today, Diego and I discussed the use case and I could show to him within 10 min how to create a decision service including ruleset and decision table to implement the requirement. I used BRFplus for this (NetWeaver version 7.3 EhP1). Diego has NW 7.0 EhP2. So his UI would look slightly different. With NW DSM this would be implemented even faster (see here why).

Diego will now try the same on his own systems and maybe afterwards we can make it a paper for reference, e.g. for you.
