Release Analysis and Actions

View the number of work orders for release and then release them to send the schedule to your manufacturing or maintenance application.

Work Order Metrics

Review these metrics about the work orders you're about to release:

To release a schedule, click the Release button. The following data in your manufacturing application is updated with released information:

Work order header start and end times
Work order operation start and end times
Work order operation resource assignments
Work order status changes to Released if the schedule option release status setting is set to Mark work orders as released on the Schedule Options page. If not, the work orders status is retained.
Firm status for non-firm work orders within the fixed time fence horizon, now marked as firm, if the Firm work orders that begin during the fixed time fence period setting was enabled during schedule configuration.
Flow schedule completion date.
Flow schedule build sequence number.

Here are some guidelines you must know before you release a schedule:

If the schedule isn't refreshed after the previous release, changes to the schedule for some work orders might not be released.
After each Solve and Repair process, if the start date of a work order falls within the Release Horizon, the work order is automatically selected for Release. Using the Selected for Release switch in the work order table, you can select or deselect individual work orders for release.
Work orders in Pending Approval status aren't updated in SCM execution.
Planned orders from Oracle Supply Planning won't be released to SCM Execution.
Only those flow schedules that are in open status in SCM Execution at the time of schedule release are updated with new completion dates and build sequence numbers.
