PURCHASING > Releases > Process New Releases
This is used to process new Releases that are in your Release Work Area. Alternatively, you can also process new Releases when you exit your Work Area.
For those Releases that you selected to send to the supplier by e-mail when the Releases were entered, when the Releases are processed they will be sent to the supplier electronically and you will have the option to print hard copies as well. For details, see Sending Documents Electronically and Document Forms.
When Releases are processed, they will be removed from your Work Area and various areas of the system will be updated with the new Release information including the status of the applicable Purchase Order, the open Release Log and various reports.
•When you process new Releases, you will have various options for how the Release documents are to be formatted.
TIP: If you always answer the questions the same way, you can use the Don't Ask Me Again feature or Add/Remove Menus and Pop-Up Prompts to default and hide the questions to reduce mouse clicks.
