Release Type The purchase release's release type. Issue Date For nonreferenced schedule, this is the (next) schedule issue date. For referenced schedule, this is the date on which the purchase release is created for the first time. Warehouse The code of the warehouse where the goods must be delivered. Note For nonreferenced schedules, LN retrieves the warehouse from the Warehouse field in the Purchase Schedules (tdpur3110m000) session. For referenced schedules, LN retrieves the warehouse from the Warehouse field in the Purchase Schedule Lines (tdpur3111m000) session, which can differ from line to line. As a result, the schedule lines of the same pull call-off schedule can be stored under different purchase releases. Communication Channel The method that is used to communicate the purchase release to the buy-from business partner. Forecast Horizon Start The oldest start date and time of all schedule lines in a purchase release. Note If the status of a purchase release detail line becomes Scheduled, the value of the Start Date field in the Purchase Release Line - Details (tdpur3522m000) session is compared to the current field. If the start date in the Purchase Release Line - Details (tdpur3522m000) session falls before the date stored in the current field, the Forecast Horizon Start field is overwritten with the value of the Start Date field in the Purchase Release Line - Details (tdpur3522m000) session. Forecast Horizon End The latest start date and time of all schedule lines in a purchase release. Note If the status of a purchase release detail line becomes Scheduled, the value of the End Date field in the Purchase Release Line - Details (tdpur3522m000) session is compared to the current field. If the end date in the Purchase Release Line - Details (tdpur3522m000) session falls after the date stored in the current field, the Forecast Horizon End field is overwritten with the value of the End Date field in the Purchase Release Line - Details (tdpur3522m000) session.

Release Revision A number that uniquely identifies the revision of the release. The release revision number indicates the updates that are sent to the business partner. The release revision number of the first purchase release is always 0. LN provides every revised purchase release with a new release revision number, which is one number higher than the previous revision number. Note If a release(line) is changed, and the status of the purchase release is Sent, every change in a released schedule or schedule line results in a new revision number. Release Status The purchase release's status. A purchase release can have these statuses:
EDI Release Number A number used by Electronic Commerce that represents a combination of purchase release number and release revision number. Note You can determine the default number group for EDI release numbers in the EDI Release Series field of the Purchase Contract Parameters (tdpur0100m300) session. The generated EDI release number is defaulted to the Number field of the Messages to be Generated (ecedi7100m000) session. Release Planner The planner who is responsible for this purchase release. Note You can only enter a release planner when the status of the purchase release is Created or Scheduled. Buy-from Business Partner The business partner from whom you order goods or services; this usually represents a supplier's sales department. The definition includes the default price and discount agreements, purchase-order defaults, delivery terms, and the related ship-from and invoice-from business partner. Ship-from Business Partner The business partner that ships the ordered goods to your organization. This usually represents a supplier's distribution center or warehouse. The definition includes the default warehouse at which you want to receive the goods and if you want to inspect the goods, the carrier that takes care of the transport, and the related buy-from business partner. Ship-to Address The address to which the goods must be shipped. Note If the warehouse has dock (receipt) locations, which you can define in the Warehouse - Dock Locations (whwmd2120m000) session, LN checks whether an address is defined for the relevant receipt location. If yes, this receipt address is displayed by default. Otherwise, the warehouse address, as defined in the Purchase Schedule Lines (tdpur3111m000) session, is displayed. Generate Release per Vehicle If this check box is selected, the requirements on this purchase release are grouped by vehicle. If this check box is selected, the value of the Generate Release per Item check box in the Purchase Contract Parameters (tdpur0100m300) session determines whether the requirements on this purchase release are grouped by item or by business partner. Note This check box is only relevant for sequence shipping schedules. Default value The setting of this check box is defaulted from the Generate Release per Vehicle check box in the Buy-from Business Partner (tccom4120s000) session and cannot be changed.

If this check box is cleared, the requirements on this purchase release are grouped by business partner. Note For sequence shipping schedules, the requirements can also be grouped by vehicle. This is determined by the Generate Release per Vehicle check box in the Buy-from Business Partner (tccom4120s000) session.
