Overview of Delivery-based Pick Release
Pick Release releases order line details for shipment. Pick Release creates picking lines for one order line, one order, or many orders depending on your release criteria. You can run as many releases as you want and qualify those releases to meet your requirements.
You can define Release Sequence Rules, which specify the order in which eligible picking lines are released during Pick Release. You can also define Pick Slip Grouping Rules, which determine how released picking lines are grouped onto pick slips.
You can release orders by departure and delivery, warehouse, order, requested or schedule dates, customer, item, shipment priority, order type, subinventory, ship sets, or combinations of these criteria.
Using Pick Release, you can also:
- release reserved lines and non-reservable lines only
- release orders by subinventory
- print pick release documents
There are three different methods of running Pick Release: online, concurrent, and through Standard Report Submission. Online releases one order immediately, thus eliminating time spent waiting for the order to process through the Concurrent Manager queue. Concurrent runs pick release in the background, thus allowing you to run other processes simultaneously. Standard Report Submission (SRS) runs pick release in the background multiple times. Using SRS, you can run a specific release at the same time every day. See Pick Release -- SRS.
Attention: Only those order lines with Source Type set to internal can be pick released. See: Overview of Sales Orders, Defining Sales Order Line Scheduling Information, Drop Shipments
