Dear All,

i need to make release strategy based on cost center value for example:

for cost center 1000 :

will trigger release strategy z1 with the following release codes:

A1 & A2

for cost center 2000 :

will trigger another release strategy Z2 with the following release codes :

B1 & B2

hello Muhamed,

In CEKKO, there are 4 fields to meet custom requirements. USRC1 and USRC2  are CHAR fields where as USRN1 and USRN2 are numeric fields. These fields can be filled in EXIT_SAPLEBND_002 but keep precausion that first line of the code should be "E_CEKKO = I_CEKKO.".

Once you fill value in the structure, these would be available for determination of release strategy.

This is SAP's standard way of using it.

Thanks,

Hi,

This is not possible with standard configuration.

Cost center in PO is at item level.... if u have more than one item in a PO and each item with different cost center, how system can handle? as PO is subjected to header level release.

Kamal,

Cekko is the Structure for Release Strategy. In that structure "Cost Center " is not available.

U shud take the help of a ABAPER.

or

Use EKKN-KOSTL in CT04(Release Characteristics). use this in release strategy.

Check it and tell me also,whether its working fine or not.

(Got the info from other SAP FORUM)

it is not working with the second solution

Your issue is the Release Strategy is for the PO and Cost Centre is defined at item level and there can be multiple per item.

It would be 15 seconds work for an ABAPer to fill a Cost Centre field in the Comm. structure with the Cost Centre off the first item.

Kamal,

then u have to go for first solution.

Ask ur Abaper create a fieldname "Cost Center" in the CEKKO Structure.

Hello,

For release strategy, the fields have to be referenced from the CEKKO structure, and cost center (KOSTL ) is not present in this structure. Therefore, if you want to use this field to trigger/restart the release strategy, then you need to add this field to CEKKO structure and implement the user-exit EXIT_SAPLEBND_002.

Keep in mind that cost center is maintained at item level, so you may have different values for the same PO when there are multiple items.

Best regards.
