Use the Create Releases process to create releases for requisition lines that meet the following criteria:

• Approved (and Reserved, if requisition encumbrance is active)

• Requisition is already sourced to an existing blanket purchase agreement (not a global agreement)

• Item is populated on the requisition line (one-time items not released)

• The Approved Supplier List entry for the item, supplier, and blanket indicate that the Release Generation method is either Automatic Release or Automatic Release/Review

• The requisition line is not already on a purchase order

• The source blanket is still active and the release will not put the blanket over the amount limit.

If the release generation method is Automatic Release, the process sets the status to Approved.

You can set the Create Releases process to run automatically at specified intervals.

To run the Create Releases process:

1. Navigate to the Submit Requests window.

2. Select Requests in the first field.

3. Select Create Releases in the Name field.

4. Choose Submit to begin the process.
