Purpose: To establish a measurable guideline and metric for when to release Sales Orders for customers without a customer driven release schedule.
First Release: Release within 6 business hours of the SO line fill and release being met, adjusting PSD to allow proper Order Management and Warehouse functions to occur. If routing is not needed, PSD must be 2 days in the future. If routing is needed, PSD must be 3 days in the future.
Subsequent Releases (Backorders): Release every Monday by 11am any SOs that meet the line fill and release rule. Set PSD for Thursday, regardless of routing requirements. Continue until all lines are fulfilled or closed.
How to Select PSDs:
- if releasing an SO that does not require routing on a Monday before 11am, select Wednesday as the PSD
- if releasing an SO that does not require routing on a Monday after 11am, select Thursday as the PSD
- if releasing an SO that does require routing on a Monday before 11am, select Thursday as the PSD
- if releasing an SO that does require routing on a Monday after 11am, select Friday as the PSD
