The “Release authorized PD” flag, makes the PDs generated by the release of the planned  purchase orders, have the “Authorized” flag automatically active. Otherwise, the user that has to generate purchase orders from PD is forced to “authorize” all the line of the Purchasing request before generating an order from it. However, it is possible to authorize just some of the PD lines and to generate purchase orders starting from the authorized lines.

The flag “Simplified Management of the Production”: it can activate the consequent flag “Release Executive  Production Orders”; if active, it makes the production orders, generated by the means of the planned production orders release, are created with the “Executive” status and thus they do not need a further release procedure.
