Press the Release Button only if you are using Retail Enterprise to send your purchase orders up to corporate, and only when you have completely finished creating the purchase order.


This button does two things:

  1. Locks down the purchase order so that no changes can be made. This includes any changes in Review a Purchase Order. The fields will be grayed out so that products can't be added or amounts changed in the form.
  2. "Releases" the purchase order so that it can be sent to corporate. If not pressed, the purchase order will not be retrieved by Enterprise. This is so that users will not make changes after corporate has already received the purchase order, thus keeping POs in sync.
