Material release optional for shipping schedules

For sales schedules in LN, the schedule message type Material Release is supported. This is managed by the Use Material Release check box in the Sales Contract Line Logistic Data session. If this check box is selected, these features were both applicable:

• Material Release schedules can be used.
• It is mandatory for a Shipping Schedule, Sequence Shipping Schedule, or Pick-up Sheet to have a preceding Material Release schedule.

If you use material releases, the obligation to use them as a prerequisite for shipping schedules, sequence shipping schedule, or pick-up sheet no longer applies. The Preceding Material Release is Optional check box has been added to the Sales Contract Line Logistic Data session for this purpose. If this new check box is selected, sales releases of type Material Release and Shipping Schedule can be processed in random order.
