PO release strategy - tolerance

Former Member

Hi Gurus ,

IN PO release strategy , is it possible that when define a limit (percentage and value ) above which if the PO Total value is changed then only PO release is triggered ?

For example , we define 5% or 500 Euro as the tolerance limit. If the PO changed is more than 5% or 500 Euro only then PO release is triggered or otherwise not ?

Regards,

Saurav

Hi,

in IMG

OLME > PO >Release Procedure for Purchase Orders

> Define Release Procedure for Purchase Orders

> Release indicator

for each release indicator you can set Tolerance for Value Changes During Release

.

see he documentation about this field ( %value change)

"

Specifies the percentage by which the value of the requisition may be increased (as a result of a change to the requisition) after the release procedure has begun.

Use

By specifying a percentage for changes in value, you can ensure that a requisition cannot be changed significantly after having been released.

If the requisition is then changed, and the new value exceeds the old value by more than the percentage entered, the system issues an error message.

The user can:

Adjust the amount of the change so that the percentage value is not exceeded

The release procedure continues from its current point.

Leave the change as it is (disregarding the system message)

The release procedure is re-started from the beginning.

Dependencies

The system only checks changes in the value of a requisition if the Changeability indicator is set to "4 - Changeable, new release procedure if strategy or value changed" for the release indicator Customizing.

"

If you have maintained a Tolerance for value changes during release

(TLFAE), the release strategy is reset when the value of the

document is higher than the percentage you have specified and if the

document is still subject to the previous release strategy.

Thanks VIPIN and Nadia for your replies.

Vipin : can we also enter the absolute value of 5500 euro so that only if the PO increase exceeds either of these , then only PO release should be trigerred ?

Cuurently in the system I have PO release strategy mainatained on the net value of the PO .So if PO net order value is between 100 - 1000 , 1000- 10,000 , then based on this it will pick the release strategy.

Now if we also add net order percentage criteria also as you advised ( along with the absolute value of 500 euro if possible ) ,

will it work ?

Nadia : I do not want a limit upto which the PO net order value can be increased. All i want is that if its within 5 % or 500 euros , PO release must not be triggered.

Please advise

yes , create new characteristics copying characteristics from comm.structure CEKKO ( Ex. total value in po)

assign this characteristics to your class, in release stratergy mantain value for this ( ex. <= 5%).
