If this check box is selected, the activity is automatically executed. If this check box is cleared, you must manually execute the activity.

Execution of the order procedure activities can start when you approve the purchase order. After approval of an order, all automated activities are executed successively until an activity is defined as non-automatic. After you manually executed the non-automatic activity, LN executes the next automatic activity, and so on.

Note: For purchase orders with a cost or service item, although the activities Release Purchase Orders to Warehousing (tdpur4246m000) and Purchase Receipts (tdpur4106m000) can both be linked as a mandatory activity to the order type, either the Release Purchase Orders to Warehousing (tdpur4246m000) activity, or the Purchase Receipts (tdpur4106m000) activity is executed during the order procedure. You cannot execute both activities for the order type. The purchase order is released to Warehousing if the item's Item Type is set to Cost or Service in the Items (tcibd0501m000) session and the Release to Warehousing check box is selected in the Items - Purchase (tdipu0101m000) session. If the Release to Warehousing check box is cleared, you must manually maintain the receipts for the purchase order in the Purchase Receipts (tdpur4106m000) session.
