• Key Concepts: 
  Reserve with distributed release is a feature of SAP CRM-IM-IPM Intellectual Property Management. It allows users to reserve a certain amount of intellectual property for a specific purpose, such as a project or product launch. The reserved amount is then released in increments over time, allowing the user to manage their intellectual property more efficiently.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the reserve with distributed release feature, users must first define the amount of intellectual property they wish to reserve. This can be done by setting a limit on the total amount of intellectual property that can be used for a particular purpose. Once the limit is set, users can then specify how much of the reserved amount should be released at any given time. This can be done manually or automatically, depending on the user's preferences.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the reserve with distributed release feature, it is important to keep track of how much intellectual property has been released and how much is still available for use. This will help users ensure that they are not overusing their reserved amount and that they are not running out of intellectual property before their project or product launch is complete. Additionally, users should also consider setting up alerts or notifications when their reserved amount is running low so that they can replenish it in time.
