You can release sales and purchase orders to the next stage of processing before it is posted. When an order is released it will be included in all availability calculations from the expected receipt date of the items.

To release an order

  1. Open the document you want to release.

  2. On the Actions tab, in the Functions group, choose Release. The Status field has now changed to Open.

Note
You can make changes to a released order by reopening it. However, you can only change lines already processed by the warehouse by increasing the quantity.
