When you release invoices automatically, the system deletes all blocking reasons that no longer apply. For more information and examples, see Validity of a Block.

When all blocking reasons in an invoice are deleted, the system automatically releases the invoice.

If you select the Move cash discount date field on the initial screen, the agreed cash discount period is retained.

Canceled invoices are not taken into account.

It is only possible to automatically release invoices if their blocking reasons are no longer valid. This can be the case for invoices blocked due to quantity, price, or schedule variance s, or due to quality inspection.

You can only use the function Release automatically for the blocking procedure Blocked due to variances.
