<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=231430808-30092005><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>If have understood you correctly, you are saying that
the application is not applying a new release code when you make the
changes. If this is the case then you will not get an event. Until a new release
code is applied to the contract/SA, no event will be raised. This is possibly a
job for your functional team and if the configuration is all correct in the
system but no release codes are being applied, then I suggest your functional
team raise it with OSS. The workflow can only respond to the events, which
are in turn dependent on the application config.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>For a recent

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>1. When we change
a SA/Contract , ME32L and ME33K do not reset the release and put it back in

strategy.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>2. I checked in our quality system

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT> </DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>There is some application configuration required to get the
ReleaseStepCreated events raised which must already be in place in your system
for PO,s but not for contracts or scheduling agreements. To get the event
raised, you need to tell the application that you want to use workflow for
particular release codes, and then the application raises the event when a
contract or scheduling agreement is raised subject to those release codes.

- purchasing - contract - release procedure for contracts - define release
procedure for contracts. Go into Release Codes (note NOT workflow!) and enter
either a 1 or a 9 in the workflow column for the release codes you want to
use with workflow. Follow a similar procedure to set up for SA's. You will then
find that the events are raised when the contracts/SA's are created/changed
subject to the release codes. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
