Question:
Hi all,
i am facing a problem while defining the release strategy for PO. Actually i have to define a release strategy for PO depending on Payment term field in PO Header(ZTERM) as characteristic value.
But the system is not taking that field as it is not there in CEKKO structure which is defined for having fields for release strategy characteristics values.
Is there any workaround for this problem. Is it possible to give Payment term as a characteristic in my Release strategy for PO.
Please Help
your valuable input is appreciated in advance
Regards
Virender.

u are actually looking for the total PO amount or anything else
Answer:
Hi Virender,
Unfortunately, it is not possible to use Payment Term as part of your release characteristics. Perhaps, you should give me additional justifications on why this field should be used to route the PO to the appropriate authorizers. Was it due to the differentiation between imported PO and local PO?.
Cheers,
HT

Hi HT,
Thanks a lot for your input. Actually client wants that, to some vendors they are giving some advance payments for purchase for which we have defined Payment terms in the system.
Now client's requirement is that there should be one more authority to release the PO based on Payment term,so that purchasing heads can decide whether they want to give that amount of advance to the vendor or not. THis is the reason for which we want Payment term as Release Characteristic.
But that is not possible as Payment term field is not there in CEKKO structure.
Is there any workaround for the problem, any other field in the PO (text field)which we can use to put Payment term as text .
Best Regards

Hi,
Instead of using this field, I would recommend you of looking at the utilization of special purchasing group.
