This routine evaluates the order as a whole, analyzing several factors, such as:

• Customer credit approval.
• Availability of Balances in Stock.
• Minimum value for invoicing

The orders ready to be released are those with Open Sales Order status, represented by the green color, in maintenance window, for further generation of Outflow Document. The system evaluates the credit according to information found in the fields related to Credit Limit of Customer File.  Customer File

These information triggers the following processes:

• When an order is not released by credit reasons, the system blocks it and does not evaluate stock, not posting the quantities. It posts the quantities only when the parameter MV_RESEST is activated.
• The activated parameter MV_BLOQUEI, sends all orders to the credit release process. Thus, when the content displays F, the customer credit is not evaluated, regardless of the risk; however, if no stock is available, this order is released on credit but blocked on stock.
• When an order is approved by credit, but there is no stock, the system blocks the stock.
• Similarly, when there is credit approved and available stock, the order is released to generate the outflow document.

There are two ways to release the order:

• Manually

Displays order original data and let the user defines the quantity to be invoiced, that is, the Released Quantity, which can be equal to the original quantity, or a part of it. Orders are released one by one in the manual release.

• Automatic

It releases a group of orders according to specification in parameters, starting with the Customer credit status, availability of product in stock, and the delivery date of order item.

Parameters involved

The system runs several consistency checks to release the order, considering the following parameters definition:

MV_BLOQUEI

When content is equal to .T., the system sends all order releases to credit approval. If parameter is equal to .F., no credit is blocked.

MV_GRVBLQ2

When it is active (.T.), it blocks the quantity released if there is no sufficient stock. If there is enough stock, the quantity is automatically released.

Thus, if there are 100 parts of product in stock and the user releases 180 parts of a Sale Order, it generates 2 registration in the Released Items File (SC9), the first with 100 parts released and the second with 80 parts blocked by stock.

To validate this process, the question Releases only with Stock?, accessed by [F12] key, needs to be Yes, in the Order Release.

MV_LIBNODP

The parameter defines if an order that does not generate trade note, for example, gifts, donations, etc., should have its credit evaluated, according to TES definition.

MV_GERABLQ

If content = N, the evaluation of balance by address is performed in the order release. Thus, the quantity in order must be lowered, if balance is insufficient (using field Released Quantity).

If content = S, the system evaluates balances by address at the release of stock and it only releases it if balance is found at the listed addresses.

MV_CREDCLI

This parameter is used in the automatically release of credit and defines the credit control by store or by customer.

MV_MCUSTO

Indicates currency used to check customer credit limit (found in the Customer File)

MV_RESEST

This parameter is used in credit refusal situations, so the quantities are displayed although credit was denied.

MV_LIMINCR

This parameter defines minimum value for credit limit evaluation in current currency.

MV_TIPRES

This parameter indicates if the system should block the reserve generation if quantity in stock is insufficient.

MV_RASTRO

This parameter tracks the product, from the time it is received from Supplier to the production, packaging, and dispatch to the designated Customer. While the system releases the product, it makes consistency checks by lot, that is, it evaluates the balance by product lot and posts the cleared quantity in the balances by lot file.

MV_AVALEST

It defines if manual credit release should consider the cleared quantity (1), stock quantity (2), or (3) block stock.
