Release Outside Operation
Explanation
Use this activity to create a purchase requisition or purchase order for an outside operation in planned status.
The status of the operation will not be changed to released due to this action. This is helpful when you want to
release a purchase requisition earlier than you normally might do so, for e.g., when you release the shop
order.
Releasing an outside operation on a shop order creates a purchase requisition or an order line for the outside
operation based on the outside supply type.
To release an outside operations, select the relevant operation, click Outside Operation and then
Release Outside Operation.
