Hi,

Please take into account that in standard design system only considers
characteristics from CEKKO structure for release strategy consideration.
But it will not stop you in selecting the other characteristics.

Please go through the IMG help of release strategy, will give good
information.

I think you have already read the note:

The characteristics of the class used must all be linked to the

corresponding fields of structure CEBAN or CEKKO (for purchase
orders)...."

Characteristics which are created for the release strategy with

classification MUST access communication structures CEBAN or CEKKO since
during the strategy determination, the system cannot access any other
tables or structures.

If the characteristics refer to fields which are not contained in

structures CEBAN or CEKKO, the corresponding fields can be added to
communication structure CEKKOZZ or CEBANZZ, or an append structure can
be created for CEKKO or CEBAN in which new fields can be included.

If you want to use new defined fields as part of the

release strategy clasification, you should use enhancement M06E0004

(User exit "exit_saplebnd_002").This user exit allows you to use the
user fields in strucure CEKKO to include additional data.
Use the user fields of this structure: USRC1, USRC2, USRN1 or USRN2 and
control them through user exit "EXIT_SAPLEBND_002. Otherwise new field
will not work.
