As this program may take a while to process, it is advisable to use the filtering criteria for Stock code to narrow the number of records to be processed.
Not narrowing down the number of stock codes may make it appear that the program is hanging and not processing anything, while it is still actually processing.
A tickover message “Retrieving data…” is displayed together with each stock code as it is processed, according to the tickover setup against your operator code.
This program does NOT replace existing functionality in Job Issues, WIP Reservations Review, Back Order Release and Release Reserved Stock.
