Confirm an After Market Release

Overview

An after market release is initiated when a customer requests that a supplier release a given product. Once ProTrans receives the request from the customer, the after market release will be generated. Before a carrier can be scheduled to pick up the shipment, the supplier must first confirm the release. Based on the initial request from the customer, the supplier should make any changes necessary to the actual quantity being shipped as well as the actual date of shipment. Once the after market release is confirmed, the shipment, ASN, and load will be created.

Releases requiring confirmation will appear while performing a search that matches the release criteria. For example, searching for all shipments originating from Sangren Tool and Die will also return any releases originating from Sangren Tool and Die that must be confirmed.
