Multiple Releases on Orders

Some manufacturers accept Hold For Release orders, and many do not. OASIS can account for these scenarios through various setup options allowing users to present the order according to manufacturer needs. Note: users must add the "Rel Now" column to the order, using the "Preferences" tool.
