Release Object STOR (Standing Order) 

Definition

A release object in the Account Management (FS AM) system using which the system recognizes whether the editing of a standing order by entry or processing staff is subject to release. If this is the case, the Framework for the Principle of Dual Control (CA-GTF-TS-PDC) generates a work item that must be processed further in the Business Workplace by a supervisor or user responsible for release.

Customizing

You make the settings for the STOR (standing order) release object and its release attributes in the Customizing  for Account Management (FS-AM) by choosing Order Management ® Standing Order ® Release in the following IMG activities:

·        Assign Release Procedure to Release Object

·        Assign Rules to Release Steps

·        Assign Release WF and Release Procedure WF to Release Procedures.

·        Define Rejection Reasons

       1.      Dialog

¡        Individual processing

The following transactions are subject to release if you made the corresponding setting in the Customizing for Account Management (FS-AM):

§         Create Standing Order

§         Change Standing Order

§         Delete Standing Order

The system checks whether the dialog processing of the standing order in question is subject to release and generates a work item for every release-relevant standing order editing. If a standing order is no longer relevant for release once it has been edited, the corresponding work item is deleted.

¡        Mass processing

Transaction: Execute Standing Order

Standing order execution is not a release-relevant operation so does not generate any work items. However, the system only executes due standing orders if they are not in the release process after being edited as described above. If the standing orders to be executed are still in the release process, they are not executed.

       2.      Business Application Programming Interface (BAPI)

The following transactions are subject to release if set accordingly in the Customizing for Account Management (FS-AM)  and if the Deactivate Release Workflow indicator is not set in the corresponding BAPI. This indicator stops the release process from running.

¡        StandingOrder.Change

¡        StandingOrder.Create

The system checks as for dialog processing whether editing a standing order via BAPIs is subject to release. If this is the case, the system generates a work item for every release-relevant standing order editing. If a standing order is no longer relevant for release once it has been edited, this work item is deleted again.

You can query the release status of the standing order with BAPI StandingOrder.GetDetail.

       3.      Direct Input

Creating standing orders in the external data transfer is not relevant for release.

You can edit release object STOR(standing order) as a work item using the SAP Business Workplace. This can affect the order status of the standing order. For more information, see section Status and Release Status of a Standing Order.

·        Display

Choosing this pushbutton brings you to the dialog transaction Display Standing Order.

·        Change

Choosing this pushbutton brings you to the dialog transaction Change Standing Order. The system closes the old release workflow and triggers a new release process with the changed data. The status of the new standing order release object is initially In Release.

This method in the SAP Business Workplace can change the status and release status of the standing order as follows:

The system checks the changed standing order and generates a new work item if applicable and/or deletes the existing work item.

·        Display change documents

Choosing this pushbutton brings you to the selection screen of transaction Display Change Documents of the standing order.

·        Release

This method in the SAP Business Workplace can change the status and release status of the standing order as follows:

Before release			After release
Status of the standing order change	Release status of the standing order	Activity resulting in release	Release status	System activity	Status of the standing order change
-	In release	Create	Not in release	The system creates the standing order	Active
Active	In release	Change	Not in release	The system changes the standing order	Active
Active	Delete in release	Delete	Not in release	The system deletes the standing order	Deleted

The In Release status represents the following “internal” statuses of the release workflow that the system only displays in the context of the release workflow. However, in the Status field of the individual standing order transactions you can always find the general In Release status if the standing order in question is in the release process.

§         Entered

§         Released – 1^st level

§         Released – 2nd level

§         Returned

§         Changed

·        Reject

Choosing this pushbutton brings you to a dialog box in which you must specify rejection reasons. You must have entered these beforehand in the Account Management (FS-AM) Customizing settings for the release process. For more information, see the Customizing section of this document.

This method in the SAP Business Workplace can change the status and release status of the standing order as follows:

Before release			After release
Status of the standing order change	Release status of the standing order	Activity resulting in release	Release status	System activity	Status of the standing order change
-	In release	Create	Not in release	The system creates the standing order	Rejected
Active	In release	Change	Not in release	The system does not change the standing order	Active
