Defining Release Sequence Rules for Shipping

We can define Release Sequence Rules to specify the order in which eligible picking lines are released during Pick Release.

The order in which picking lines are released using a Release Sequence Rule is based on five attributes:

Order Number,

Outstanding Invoice Value,

Schedule Date,

Departure Date and

Shipment Priority

We can assign a Priority (1 through 5) to one attribute or all of the attributes for the release sequence rule, with 1 being the highest priority and 5 being the lowest priority.

We can also define whether we want the picking lines released based on the attribute in an ascending order or a descending order. For example, if we define order number as our number 1 priority and select the associated Ascending toggle, the eligible picking line with the lowest order number is released first followed by the picking line with the next lowest order number.

We can define either the Outstanding Invoice Value attribute or the Order attribute for the Release Sequence Rule, but we cannot select both for the same rule. No two attributes can be given the same priority.

We can edit existing release sequence rules, but we cannot change the name of an existing release sequence rule.
