Releasing the shipment

Releasing a shipment is the final step in processing a requisition with demand on stock.

This step cannot be undone (reversed). Perform this step only when you are certain that all information for the shipment is correct and complete.

Releasing a shipment reduces the available stock-on-hand in the Inventory Control application. Releasing a shipment creates an unreleased inventory transaction record, but does not post to the General Ledger application. See the Inventory Control User Guide for information on posting to general ledger accounts.

You release shipments:

• after you have performed shipping feedback

• after you have used the Finish form action to finish the shipment

• before you print the delivery ticket

You can release shipments by running a batch program and/or using an online program.
