    Note: The Detail check box is enabled for parent functions only. You cannot select this check box in subfunction records.

  8. Release the reserved inventory by selecting a function clicking the Release button.

    The Release button enables you to release function space inventory after it has been reserved. When you click the Release button, the inventory status of the current function space changes to Unreserved from the previous value. If the function is a parent function (in other words, a detail function or a space hold function), then the inventory of any subfunctions is also released.
