Documentation

Definition

Specifies whether the type of release created is an Internet release.

Use

Internet releases are not made available to the vendor in the conventional manner as printouts or EDI or fax messages. Instead, if the Supplier Workplace or Supplier Portal is used, the vendor can view them via the Internet and acknowledge them if necessary.

Dependencies

If you wish to use Internet releases, you must implement the Supplier Portal and enable your vendors to access it via the Internet.
Internet releases are displayed in the Supplier Portal and can be acknowledged there by your vendors.

Via the Acknowledgment by vendor indicator, you can specify that the Internet release does not count as "outputted" until it has been acknowledged by the vendor

If you do not set this indicator, the Internet release counts as "outputted" immediately it is created or itself released (approved).

In both cases, the output date and time are updated and the Internet release is included in the release documentation.
When the next release creation cycle takes place, a new release number is generated.
