You use this activity to release shop orders to the shop floor. You have to release a shop order to send it to the production area for constructing the appropriate number of materials. A partial quantity release enables an amount less than the total build quantity to be sent to production. Shop orders are released in specified amounts until the total build quantity or the planned production date is reached. For more information, see Shop Order.
