Release Request Task/s
Explanation
This activity is used to release request tasks. Once all preparation is done, the request task(s) can be
released and the task is ready for execution.
Prerequisites
- Sites for Sales, Logistics and Time Zone (can be the same), and a Service Organization must be defined and
connected to each other.
- Standard Tasks must have been defined
- If Shipment Order and Delivery Pick Up should be used for material lines, default values must have been
defined in the Site/Maintenance page.
System Effects
- As a result of this activity, the status of the work task is changed to Released.
- If material lines with Supply Code Purchase Order exist with Delivery Method Normal, then releasing
the Work Task will result in creating a pegged purchase requisition.
- If material lines with Supply Code Purchase Order exist with Delivery Method To Service Location,
then releasing the Work Task will result in creating a pegged purchase order. If the Work Task Service Site does
not have a remote warehouse with address type Geolocation, then releasing the work task will result in automatic
remote warehouse to be created.
- If material lines with Supply Code Purchase Order exist with Delivery Method Pick Up, then a
Purchase Requisition will be created per Supplier and Pickup Task id. The Pickup Task is set as a predecessor of
the Request Task. The main Request Task is dependent on the Pickup Task.
- If material lines with Supply Code Shipment Order and Delivery Method To Service Location exist,
releasing the work task will result in creating a pegged shipment order. However, if the Request Task Service
Site does not have a remote warehouse with address type Geolocation, release of work task and creation of
automatic remote warehouse will be restricted if the ship via and delivery terms are not set in
Company/Address/Supply Chain Information/ Internal Inventory Movement Parameter, as
ship via and delivery terms are mandatory fields when creating a Shipment Order.
- If material lines with Supply Code Shipment Order and Delivery Method Pick Up exist, then a Shipment
Order will be created per part site and Pickup Task id. The Pickup Task is set as a predecessor of the Request
Task. The main Request Task is dependent on the Pickup Task. Initially the receiver will be set to same as sender
(part site) and will later be changed to a remote warehouse related to the Pickup Task Assignment.
- If material lines with Supply Code Distribution Order and Delivery Method To Service Location exist,
releasing the work task will result in creating a pegged distribution order.
