Automatic Release Options
Automatic release uses scheduled processes to release planned orders automatically after the plan run completes.
The following options are available in the Automatic Release Parameters section on the Plan Options page, Supply Tab, General subtab in one of the Supply Chain Planning work areas:
-
Release planned orders automatically
-
Include rescheduled and canceled supplies in automatic releases
Release Planned Orders Automatically
To release planned orders automatically, you must perform these steps before you run the plan:
-
Select the Release planned orders automatically check box on the Plan Options page, Supply Tab, General subtab.
-
Select the Refresh with Current Data option in the Run Plan dialog box.
The planned orders are automatically released after the run plan successfully completes.
For a supply plan or a demand and supply plan, the Release planned orders automatically plan option isn't copied when you copy a plan. The planning process won't release planned orders when you use the duplicated plan to perform simulations.
Include Rescheduled and Canceled Supplies in Automatic Releases
When you select the Include rescheduled and canceled supplies in automatic releases check box, the planning process automatically releases rescheduled and canceled supplies. This option is active only if you selected Release planned orders automatically.
