Introduction
This BlogPost is about PO Release Strategy. Here we have highlighted PO Release Strategy- Config &
Pre-Requisites.
We need to define the parameters to initiate the release strategy. Here I have opted for Document type and
Material Group, as an example/ combination for PO Release Strategy.
Most Imp – Structure CEKKO (Communication Release Strategy Determination Purch. Document)
displays all fields, using which release strategy can be configured.
We will discuss:
1. Characteristics
Characteristics need to be created for the attributes, on which release strategy is dependent.
As an example, we have CEKKO- BSART (Doc Type) & CEKKO- MATKL (Material Group).
Class needs to be created to club all characteristics as created above for the PO release Strategy.
Path – SPRO: Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Purchase Order -> Release Procedure for Purchase
Orders -> Define Release Procedure for Purchase Orders.
