Release Rules:

Navigation: Oracle Order Management > Setup > Shipping > Picking > Define Release Rule Form

• Release rules define the criteria to be used during Pick Release. Only orders that meet the criteria and are eligible will be released. An order line is eligible if it has completed the prerequisite workflow activities, such as Schedule - Line or Create Supply.
• When pick release is run, the pick release is performed based on the parameters set up in the selected pick release rule. For example, you can create a specific rule that pick releases only backordered lines.
• Note: Although you can also enter the pick release criteria at pick release time without creating a rule, creating a rule is more efficient if you frequently run the same pick release. Also, note that it is required when releasing using SRS or when using the Auto Pick Pack and Ship features
• This is just for Defaulting purpose, you can change the attribute values at the time of Releasing order

 

   

Release Sequence Rules

Pick Slip Grouping Rules

• Pick Slip Grouping Rules organize how released order lines are grouped on Pick Slips for ease of picking.
