• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MMPUR_REL_STRAT009 - Purchase Requisition is wrongly configured to use Release Strategy ?

  The SAP error message MMPUR_REL_STRAT009 indicates that a purchase requisition (PR) is incorrectly configured to use a release strategy. This typically occurs when the system expects a release strategy to be applied to a purchase requisition, but the configuration does not meet the necessary criteria.
  Cause
  The error can arise due to several reasons, including:
  
  
  Release Strategy Configuration: The release strategy for purchase requisitions may not be properly defined in the system. This includes missing or incorrect settings in the release strategy configuration (transaction code: SPRO).
  
  
  Document Type Settings: The document type of the purchase requisition may not be linked to a valid release strategy. Each document type must be associated with a release strategy in the configuration.
  
  
  Release Group and Release Code: The release group or release code may not be correctly assigned or may not exist for the purchase requisition.
  
  
  User Authorizations: The user attempting to release the purchase requisition may not have the necessary authorizations to do so.
  
  
  Release Indicator: The release indicator for the purchase requisition may not be set correctly, preventing the application of the release strategy.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Release Strategy Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code SPRO.
  Navigate to Materials Management > Purchasing > Purchase Requisition > Release Procedure for Purchase Requisition.
  Verify that the release strategy is correctly defined and that the conditions for triggering the release strategy are met.
  
  
  
  Verify Document Type Settings:
  
  Ensure that the document type of the purchase requisition is linked to the appropriate release strategy.
  Check the settings under Document Types in the same configuration area.
  
  
  
  Review Release Group and Release Code:
  
  Check if the release group and release codes are correctly defined and assigned to the purchase requisition.
  
  
  
  User Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to release the purchase requisition. This can be checked in the user roles and profiles.
  
  
  
  Check Release Indicator:
  
  Review the release indicator of the purchase requisition to ensure it is set correctly. You can do this by displaying the purchase requisition in transaction ME53N.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making any changes, create a new purchase requisition to test if the release strategy is now applied correctly.
