Understanding Release from Fulfillment

The Release from Fulfillment report (R4277703) releases orders from the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Fulfillment Management system. After order line are released from fulfillment, they can continue through the sales order processing tasks.

To process the service level rules, the Release from Fulfillment report validates the line and order service level rule met flags value in the Service Level Rule Detail table (F4277711). You can run the Release from Fulfillment report by accessing the report directly or launching it from the Fulfillment Workbench program (P4277701) or from the Auto Fulfillment Processing report (R4277701).

The system releases the line based on the flag values. The Release from Fulfillment report also considers the cancel flag from the F4277711 table and the partial commit flag from the Customer Master Line of Business table (F03012) during split-line processing. The four scenarios for release from fulfillment include:

  1. Release fulfillment with line a level rule type. The system retrieves the line percent met flag value from the Service Level Rule Detail table to determine whether to release the line from fulfillment. If the line level rule met flag value is 1, the system releases the line from fulfillment. If the line level rule met flag value is 0, the system does not release the line and issues an error message that the system could not release line.

  2. Release fulfillment with an order level rule type. The system retrieves the order and line percent flags from the Service Level Rule table to determine whether to release the line and order from fulfillment. If the order and line level service level rule met flags value are 1, the system releases the appropriated lines from fulfillment and sets the order released line flag to 1 in the Service Level Header table (F4277701). If the order level rule met flag value is 0, the system does not release any lines on the order with the order level rule and issues an error message that the system could not release the order.

  3. Release fulfillment and cancel balance. For lines that are partially filled or split, the system cancels the split line. The system retrieves the cancel flag setting from the F4277711 table to determine whether to cancel the open balance.

  4. Release fulfillment and split line. For lines that are partially filled, the system splits the line and increases the release number by 1. Additionally, the system retrieves the service level rules and returns the service level rule information for the new split line and release number.
