Blanket/Backorder Release Window - Purpose
BKTBOWIN
The Blanket/Backorder Release Window program (BKTBOWIN) is used to release blanket orders and backorders. You can request the generation of a blanket or backorder release through maintenance code option 4 on the Sales Order Maintenance Function Select screen. You must identify the company/warehouse when maintaining order releases.
Blanket orders using the shipment scheduling option must specify the Ship-to Customer, Promised Ship Date, and Sourcing Warehouse. The only scheduled shipments that will be included on the blanket release are those that match the criterion entered in this window.
If the release is created successfully, then the Sales Order Maintenance program will retrieve the newly created sales order header record, change the maintenance code to '2' (change), and will continue to process the blanket or backorder release as if you had requested maintenance on it. If the release is not created successfully, you will receive an error message.
