      <Paragraph>A <Link href="/baanerp/td/glossary/glossary#000169" role="glossary">sales release</Link> consists of grouped sales schedule requirements that are usually

		lines can be processed and converted to sales schedules. A sales release
		represents the external customer view for schedule requirements, while the
		sales schedule represents the internal supplier view.</Paragraph>

         <List>
            <ListIntro>The following types are available:</ListIntro>

               <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/domains/sls.reltype#matrelease" role="option">Material Release</GUIRef>
            </ListItemHead>
            <ListItem>Over the long term and mid term (in general periods of some
			 months), planning information is supplied from the business partner. In
			 general, a material release can be considered as a planning release. For
			 non-referenced schedules, however, the material release can also contain the
			 actual order. In this case the release is called a material release with
			 shipping capabilities.</ListItem>
            <ListItemHead> 
               <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/domains/sls.reltype#shipschedule" role="option">Shipping Schedule</GUIRef>
            </ListItemHead>
            <ListItem>On a shorter time basis, shipping releases that contain more
			 detailed and fixed information are sent. This information is gathered on the
			 basis of shop floor requirements, miscellaneous orders, and so on. Shipping
			 schedules contain ordering information and inform you about actual deliveries.
			 This sales schedule type can be used for non-referenced sales schedules as well
			 as referenced sales schedules.</ListItem>
            <ListItemHead> 
               <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/domains/sls.reltype#seqschedule" role="option">Sequence Shipping Schedule</GUIRef>
            </ListItemHead>
            <ListItem>Over the short term (in general a period of twenty days of
			 which five days are fixed), sequence shipping information is communicated.
			 Sequence shipping schedules are a supplement to the material release or the
			 shipping schedule with precise information about the production or deliveries
			 of the requirements. These schedules can include the production or delivery
			 sequence, and the order, the place, and the time of unloading after shipment.
			 This sales schedule type is only used if the sales schedule is
			 referenced.</ListItem>

            </ListItemHead>
            <ListItem>Over the short term, pick-up information is supplied from the
			 business partner. A pick-up sheet is a document that constitutes a list of
			 items to be picked-up at the supplier’s site by a specific carrier for
			 transport to the customer on a specific day. In general, these are daily
			 requirements. Sales releases of the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/domains/sls.reltype#pickupsheet" role="option">Pick-up Sheet</GUIRef> type are converted to referenced sales schedules of the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/domains/sls.reltype#shipschedule" role="option">Shipping Schedule</GUIRef> type.</ListItem>
