Approve Release Lines (tdpur3222m100)

Use this session to approve, for nonreferenced schedule, the release lines of a purchase release.

You can only approve purchase release lines with the Created status in the Purchase Release (tdpur3121m000) session.

When a purchase release line is approved, the release line in the Purchase Release (tdpur3121m000) session and the linked release line detail(s) in the Purchase Release Line - Details (tdpur3522m000) session, which include(s) clustered schedule lines, both receive the Scheduled status.

Note
  • If the Release EDI Message Directly check box in the Purchase Contract Line Logistic Data (tdpur3102m000) session and/ or the Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session is selected, EDI messages are automatically prepared when the status of a purchase release is set to Scheduled in the Purchase Releases (tdpur3120m000) session.
  • You can update the release lines with the status Scheduled before they are printed/ EDI messages are prepared in the Print Purchase Releases (tdpur3422m000) session.
Referenced schedules

For referenced schedules, release lines cannot be approved in this session. When a referenced schedule line is created, LN generates a release line with the Scheduled status. The schedule lines are not clustered. Consequently, for every schedule line, a record exists in the Purchase Release Line - Details (tdpur3522m000) session with the Scheduled status.

If the referenced schedule is a sequence shipping schedule, no purchase release lines are created in the Purchase Release (tdpur3121m000) session, and no purchase release line details are created in the Purchase Release Line - Details (tdpur3522m000) session. For these schedules, a link exists between the release header in the Purchase Releases (tdpur3120m000) session and the release lines in the Purchase Release Lines - Sequence Shipping Data (tdpur3523m000) session. See: Sequence shipping schedules.

  • The purchase release is already approved (status Scheduled), but you do not want to send the release lines in this format to the supplier. In this case, you can update the schedule line(s) and update the release/rebuild the release. To update the release lines with the status Scheduled, take the following steps:

    3. Double-click the schedule line that you want to update and make the change.

To update the release, on the appropriate menu in the Purchase Release Line - Details (tdpur3522m000) session, click Update Release. To rebuild the release, select the current check box. The release line is generated again for the specific purchase release and directly converted into a release with the status Scheduled.
