Release Allocation Lines and Distribution Orders

Explanation

This activity is used to release distribution allocations. When you choose to create and release distribution orders in a background job then allocations are released, you can release the distribution orders that are automatically created.But depending on the order type setting, customer orders will be processed based on the order type setting.

Note: To automate the receipt process of the purchase orders, you can enable Automatic DO Receipt of you purchase part and supplier combination in Supplier for Purchase Part page. Furthermore, you can enter a default location in Inventory Part/Inventory Details/Default Locations that match your receive case found in Supplier for Purchase Part/Inspection Info tab.

 Prerequisites

• A distribution allocation must exist.

System Effects

• The allocation will be released and distribution orders will be created and released according to the release option selected.
• In the release process, if your allocation does not have any allocation lines, no distribution orders will be created. Instead distribution orders are automatically created when you eventually add allocation lines to the released allocation. 
• When released, the distribution orders will create internal customer orders and purchase orders.
