What are the differences between release procedure with
classification and release procedure without classification?
When are they used?

Answer Posted / karthik keane

Two different procedures are available for requisitions:

With classification

With this procedure, requisitions can be released both at
item level (i.e. item-by-item) and in total. The latter
approach is also termed "overall release".

Without classification

With this procedure, requisitions can only be released at
item level.

The two procedures are mutually exclusive (that is to say,
you must decide in favor of one of them only - you cannot
use both).


External purchasing documents (i.e. purchasing documents
other than requisitions) are released at header level. Item-
by-item release is not possible. These documents can only
be released using the release procedure with classification


Requisitions without classification can have Account
Assignment category, Material Group, Plant and Total Value
only as characteristics, whereas in with classification you
can define your own characteristics.


Release procedure without classification is possible for
internal purchasing docs. There you can release at item
level. But for PO we have to release at header level. We
can't release them at item level. So for External
purchasing docs we must set release procedure with
classification. It is not possible to have release
procedure without classification for PO.
