Execute Automatic Order Processing

Explanation

Automatic order processing can automate the release of purchase requisitions and purchase orders, convert purchase requisitions to purchase orders, and print/send/e-mail purchase orders, depending on which events are included. The events can either be directly performed or scheduled as a background job to run on a scheduled basis that is specified in step two of the process. 

When entering selection criteria, you can either enter a specific value or use a wildcard expression for selecting a group of records. You can use the wildcard character (%) to select all the available values for that field. For example, entering % in the Part No field will include all the part lines in the automatic order processing. Entering A% will include all part lines beginning with the letter A. 
The Offset from Normal Time Span feature is for specifing a number of days, prior to latest order date. Purchase orders and requisitions with an order date prior to the number of days specified in this field would be included in the process.
