Order Release

Order Release can be created in OTM by

1. Releasing Order Base
2. Manually creating Order Release via UI
3. Sending Release Xml from external application

An order release always contains at least one ship unit and one line item

Ship Unit/Line Update:

• Any updates on Ship units or ship unit line of order release will automatically update the released quantities on the order base ship unit or order base line respectively. 
• Deleting order releases also updates the appropriate values on the order base. 
• Ship units or ship unit lines that are added to an order release are not reflected on the original order base and these new records do not impact the order base

OTM uses the plan from/to locations on the order release as the source/destination location during shipment planning. If these fields are blank, OTM uses the source/destination location fields to plan a shipment

If you specify a source location and not a plan from location, the plan from location field will be automatically populated with the substitute location(if exits) from the location manager

If a port of load or port of discharge is defined for an order release, then for an itinerary to be valid, it must have a matching via Source or via destination location respectively.
