Release a backorder

Condition: Only backorders with the status ALLOCATED or ALLOCATABLE can be released.

On releasing a backorder, all related crossdock tasks and lists are automatically released. If the full backorder quantity has not yet been completed at the time of release, the backorder will still be available (allocatable) for the crossdock rules.

If the crossdock rules advise crossdocking an LPN to a released backorder, this will automatically lead to released crossdock tasks and lists.
If the order is released, the backorder is released automatically.
