Enables you to release proposed purchase orders to the external system for processing into firm purchase orders.

Before you begin: Make sure that the Planning run has completed.
  1. Click Purchase Orders from the Plan tab on the action bar to open the purchase order planning view.
    Proposed purchase orders will be listed from the earliest to the latest proposed start date.
  2. Select the purchase order and click Mark for release.

    Note: You can also select range orders at once by clicking while holding the Alt key.

  3. Click Release.
    The number of released orders is shown.
  4. Click OK to confirm.

    Note: By default, the released orders are removed from the purchase order plan list. You can optionally choose to see work orders that you have already marked or released by turning off the “Show unmarked” and “Show unreleased” check box options in the list context menu in the action bar.
