You can release many distribution orders at the same time using this dialog box, by entering criteria to be met by each distribution order that needs released. The automatic distribution order release can be run online, or different setups of criteria can be scheduled to run at recurring intervals. Any errors that occur during the automatic distribution order release will be logged in the Background Jobs window.
If the Consolidate onto valid CO and PO check box is not selected, each released distribution order will create a new customer order and purchase order. If the check box is selected, all the released distribution orders will be merged into the first available customer order/purchase order in the Released or Reserved status, which match the distribution orders' values for the demand site, supply site, order type, delivery address, forwarding agent, language code, ship via, delivery terms, route, and automatic receipt. If appropriate customer orders/purchase orders do not exist, new ones will be created.
A parameter field left blank means that the parameter will not be used to disqualify any distribution order from being released.
