PO Workflow Release Indicators

[Drosoula Kalavriotis]

Hi Monique,
I recently investigated the configuration related to Release/Changeability
indicators (OMGQ/S).
 
Using a Changeability Indicator of 4 (Changeable, new release in case of new
strat. or value change) with a tolerance of x% of the order's value means
that:
 
        Changes (within tolerance) made to an order after release are not
subjected to a release strategy.
 
        Changes (outside tolerance) made to an order after release and prior
to output are subjected to a release strategy.
 
        Changes (outside tolerance) made to an order after release and
output are not subjected to a release strategy. Therefore, where orders are
auto-outputted, changes are possible without being subjected to a release
strategy.
 
Reference to OSS note 47716 indicates that Changeability Indicator 6
(Changeable, new rel. if new strat. or value change/ouputted) can be used to
prevent changes being made to an order that has been both released and
outputted. I tested this and it worked as expected. The release that was
previously effected was reset (even though the order had been ouputted).
 
I hope this helps....
 
Cheers,

Subject: PO Workflow Release Indicators
 
 
 
We are currently on release 4.0B.  We are experiencing some problems with
workflow and I am not sure if I have it configured correctly.  When a PO is
blocked in Purchasing or released by Purchasing, a 25% change in the total
dollar value of the PO resets workflow.  Some of our PO's that exceed the
25% are not resetting.  There is a changeability column in the IMG for
release indicators.  In that column, you can specify any of the following:
 
 
 
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 strategy or value change
 
5 Changeable, new release if new strategy/outputted
 
6 Changeable, new release if new strategy or value change/outputted
 
Blank Changeable, new release in case of new strategy
 
 
 
For PO's blocked in Purchasing, the changeability is set to "4"; for
released PO's, it is "6".  Can anyone explain to me what these actually
mean?  What we want to accomplish is to reset workflow if the PO total value
changes more than 25%.
