Release Strategy - Reset

[Former Member]

Dear Team,

My purchase order / PR release strategy should be reset, due to following reasons.

1. Any changes in Item Text / Header Text

2. Any changes in PVC / LD clauses & Base dates

3. Any changes in Retention / Advance %

4. Changes in Delivery Date

Could any one pl suggest on this and how to do it.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Saravanan

Release of purchasing documents are only reset if total net value is increased then approved value or total net value is decreased and it falls into another release strategy.

None of the release indicator will satisfy your requirement. You need to use exit M06E0004, in SMOD, in order to develop your own set of rules.

Hi,

Put proper release indicator against the release group .

You can set a control within Config. there is a parameter called as release indicator.

Follow this IMG path:

SPRO> Materials Management>Purchasing>Purchase Order>Release Procedure for Purchase Orders>Define Release Procedure for Purchase Orders>Release indicator

1 Cannot be changed

2 Changeable, no new determination of strategy

3 Changeable, new release in case of new strategy

4 Changeable, new release in case of new strat. or val. change

5 Changeable, new release if new strategy/outputted

6 Changeable, new rel. if new strat. or value change/outputted

Changeable, new release in case of new strategy

Changeability of purchasing document during/after release which means how the system reacts if an internal or external purchasing document is changed after the start of the release procedure.

Note that the values 1 to 4 apply to internal purchasing documents (purchase requisitions) and the values 1 bis6 to external purchasing documents.

So you would need to set this Indicator for the specific release Id. which specifies whether the purchasing document can be processed in or is blocked for follow-on functions.
