Use

In this IMG activity, you can make basic settings for the release of a particular release object. Since the release of release objects is regulated by the SAP Business Workflow, in the group frame release you must define if and when the system forwards a release object to the release process.

Requirements

You have made the standard settings for the SAP Business Workflow in the Basis Customizing settings by choosing Business Management -> SAP Business Workflow -> Maintain Standard Settings for SAP Business Workflow .

Standard settings

The standard setting supplied for the release objects is no release (radio button is never in the group frame release).

Activities

  1. Choose a radio button in the group frame Release.

    If you choose always, you must also select a release procedure for all release objects.

    If you choose conditional , you can differentiate the release of the release objects according to release procedures and release reasons.

  2. If you choose Display All , you can check whether release reasons have already been defined for the release object.
  3. Go back.
  4. In change mode, choose Execute.

    If no release reasons have yet been defined for the release objects, the Customizing: Release Procedures screen appears.

    If release reasons have already been defined for the release objects, the Release Customizing: All Settings screen appears.

    If you choose New Entry or select a line of a release reason, the Customizing: Release Procedures screen appears.

  5. On the Customizing: Release Procedures screen, define or change a release reason for the selected release object and release procedure by selecting release attributes from the overview and assigning a lower limit (in the case of intervals, an upper limit, too) and a comparison operator to every release attribute in the group frame Dynamic Selections.

    When you define release reasons, make sure there is an 'And' connector between the conditions you define when entering values for the release attributes.

    Also note the connection between the release reason and the exact rule definition in the corresponding IMG activity Assign Standard Role to Release Steps. You must ensure that the system finds a user group for each release object via the standard role/rule, that is, that the rules are defined in such a way that they cover all release reasons.

  6. You assign the comparison operator by double-clicking on the input fields of the release attributes.

    The release object, release procedure, release reason and release attributes are related as follows:

    Release object -> release procedure 1 : 1 .. 3

    Release procedure -> release reason 1 : n

    Release reason -> release attributes 1 : 1 .. i; i = number of release attributes in the overview

    The system assigns the numbers of the release reasons.

    If you wish to delete individual release reasons, you must individually delete all release attributes of this release reason. Note that if you choose Deletion of Entries for Release Object , the system will delete all release reasons.

  7. Choose Execute.
  8. Go back to the initial screen of the IMG activity.

    If you choose statistical , you must define a fraction of a million that the system is to forward to the release process, and a release procedure.

    If you choose never, you cannot make any more settings.

    If you change from always, conditional or statistical to never , the system deletes all the settings for the release object.

  9. Save your entries.
