A Production Release is used to release all or a portion of an order item to the production system. A release describes the quantity of material (weight and/or pieces) to be released into production and when, the customer’s due date, and delivery date promised.
- Create a new release and specify a quantity to be released using the same unit of measure as given on the item, or for the balance of the order item.
- Cancel/hold/confirm a release. All associated work orders, stock reservations and production orders will also be cancelled, held, or confirmed.
- Revise the release quantity and/or dates. If the order item state is CONFIRMED, then the release state will be set to UNDER REVISION or UNCONFIRMED before revisions can be made.
- Issue release to the production system and print a Production Release Summary
- Query the open releases associated with a given order item.
