How to Release Operations and Phases 

You can release individual operations/phases of the process order. If you release an operation, all the phases belonging to this operation are also released.

The process order is then "partially released" and the status PREL appears under System status in the main header.

Once you have released all the operations of a process order, the order automatically receives the status released.

Once you have released all the phases of an operation, the operation is automatically released.

If you delete the last phase of an operation without releasing it, the operation is released.

To release an operation or a phase, proceed as follows:

  1. In the Main header screen, select the functions Goto ® 2-line operation overview. In this screen, you can see the status of the orders. The 1-line operation overview does not show this status.
  2. Select the operations/phases you want to release.
  3. Now select the menu options Operation ® Functions ® For operation/phase ® Release.

The system now releases the selected operation(s) and/or phases.

You can also release individual operations and phases from the 1-line operation overview as follows:

  1. In the 1-line operation overview, mark an operation or phase and select Operation ® Functions ® Release.
  2. The system will release the operation or phase if you have not released the whole process order.
