Purchase Releases (tdpur3120m100)

Field Information

Issue Date Due

The number of days between the issue date and the current date.

Note: 

• If a negative value is displayed, the release is already due and the number of days after the issue date is displayed.
• If the release status is set to Sent, no value is specified in this field.

Release

The number of the purchase release.

Note: You can determine the default number group for schedule releases in the Purchase Contract Parameters (tdpur0100m300) session.

You can determine the default series for the schedule release number group in either:

• The Purchase Offices (tdpur0112m000) session.
• The Procurement User Profiles (tdpur0143m000) session.

Release Revision

release revision number

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.

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. Consequently, the schedule lines of the same pull call-off schedule can be stored under different purchase releases.

Issue Date

For a nonreferenced schedule, this is the (next) schedule issue date.

For a referenced schedule, this is the date on which the purchase release is created for the first time.

Release Status

The purchase release's status.

A purchase release can have these statuses:

• Created
• Scheduled
• Sent

Sent Date

The date and time on which the purchase release is sent to the supplier.

This is also the date on which the release status is set to Sent.

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 Schedule Parameters (tdpur0100m500) 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.

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 Schedule Parameters (tdpur0100m500) 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.

Generate Release per Item

If this check box is selected, the requirements on this purchase release are grouped by item.

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. If the Generate Release per Vehicle check box is selected, the setting of the current check box is no longer relevant.

Default value

The setting of this check box is defaulted from the Generate Release per Item check box in the Purchase Schedule Parameters (tdpur0100m500) session and cannot be changed.

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 is before the date specified 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.

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 is after the date specified 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.
