Have a look at what RM08RELEASE does - you might find a function in funct=
ion
group MRBR that you can call in a method to do what you want...

Thanks for clarifying that.
It seems that what I want to do is different from what you are doing; I w=
ant
the report to run but with radio button 'Release automatically' switched =
on,
in the background, within my workflow.

RM08RELEASE is run within the workflow for manual unblocking when there i=
s a
variance between PO and IV and supply want to pay as invoiced but they ca=
nt
change the PO to effect the 3 way match.
It also runs outside the workflow in auto mode via a background job to
unblock any invoices where GRs have been entered, the PO has been changed=
or
a credit raised to effect the 3 way match - when the invoice is released =
any
outstanding workflow items are cancelled

Hello John,
do you run RM08RELEASE within your workflow? That's where I am having
problems. I want to call RM08RELEASE from a bakground method and I have b=
een
able to do so. I mean, the report runs but the output is still displayed =
on
the screen; I wanted the report to run and then, in a later step, I will
check an attribute in my object type to verify if the invoice is still
blocked or not.
Regards

I've just set up an invoice block workflow - part of the process is to ru=
n
RM08RELEASE in background nightly (auto mode) to unblock any invoices tha=
t
block only because the GR was missing, if there is a variance between PO =
line
GR and IV, a workflow item goes to supply, if they can't fix it, they sen=
d it
on to accounts to raise a credit or to the AP super to unblock manually i=
f
they want to accept the difference (uses a method that calls RM08RELEASE =
in
manual mode with the invoice number) . If supply can fix it by changing t=
he
PO, the block will be removed the following night.
Hope this helps
Cheers john

Thanks Eric,
at least now I know what SingleRelease is used for! I thought it would do=
the
same thing as RM08RELEASE does, and it would only release the FI doc if t=
he
block could have been removed from MM.
Not sure how I will execute the report (RM08RELEASE) in the background
though, I was hoping somehwere else in the group would have done that bef=
ore!

Hi Christiana,
Just finished a course on SAP Workflow and tried also BUS2081.SingleRelea=
se
for releasing the invoice. As you know in the Logistic Invoice Verificati=
on
you both get a MM- and FI document in the system.
In my workflow I saw that the FI document is released with SingleRelease
while the MM document remains blocked, which of course is not correct. I
didn't manage to unblock the MM document with this method.
The old invoice verification is worked out pretty good in SAP Workflow wh=
ile
the 'new' LIV still needs a lot of improvement.
Kind regards,

Classification:
G'day all,
we are in 4.6c
I am building a workflow to handle MM invoices blocked for quantity reaso=
ns.
The workflow will send a work item to someone and after this someone exec=
utes
one of the options the next step is to run report RM08RELEASE (Release
Blocked Invoices - transaction code MRBR) in the background for the relev=
ant
invoice number and setting radio button 'Release automatically'.
Not being very successful!
I am still figuring out what method BUS2081.ReleaseSingle does? Maybe it =
does
what I am trying to do?
I wrote a little method that looks like this:
SUBMIT RM08RELEASE
WITH SO_BUKRS-LOW =3D '1000'
WITH SO_BELNR-LOW =3D object-key-invoicedocnumber
WITH SO_GJAHR-LOW =3D object-key-fiscalyear
WITH PA_XMANU =3D ''
WITH PA_XAUTO =3D 'X'
EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY
AND RETURN.
The report runs okay but it does show me the output screen (e.g 'Blocking
reasons deleted in 0 lines' message is displayed in the bottom of the
screen), and I would like to avoid that (that's why I used EXPORTING LIST=
TO
MEMORY). I just want to run the report for that invoice and later in my
workflow I will check if the block was removed or not.
Any other ideas?
Thanks and regards
Cristiana
