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 on the Parameters tab in the Run Plan dialog box.

The planned orders are automatically released after the run plan is successful.

For a demand and supply plan, replenishment plan, or supply plan, the selections in the Automatic Release Parameters section aren't copied when you copy a plan. The planning process won't release planned orders when you use the duplicated plan to perform simulations.

Note: Release time fence is an item-organization attribute and isn't defined in plan options.

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 check box is available only if you selected the Release planned orders automatically check box.

Note: The Include rescheduled and canceled supplies in automatic releases check box isn't available in the Replenishment Planning work area.

Include Rescheduled Supplies in Automatic Releases

When you select the Include rescheduled supplies in automatic releases check box, the planning process automatically releases purchase orders and transfer orders that aren't firm and that were rescheduled during the bottom-up phase of multiechelon replenishment planning. This check box is available only if you selected the Release planned orders automatically check box.

Note: The Include rescheduled supplies in automatic releases check box is available in only the Replenishment Planning work area.
