  Key Concepts: 
  Release status is a feature in SAP Supply Chain Planning and Control (SCM-SCP) that allows users to control the release of planned orders. It is used to ensure that only approved orders are released for production or procurement. The release status can be set to either “Released” or “Not Released”. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the release status feature, users must first create a planned order in SAP SCM-SCP. Once the planned order is created, users can set the release status to either “Released” or “Not Released”. If the release status is set to “Released”, the planned order will be released for production or procurement. If the release status is set to “Not Released”, the planned order will not be released for production or procurement. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to remember that setting the release status of a planned order does not guarantee that it will be released for production or procurement. The release status only serves as an indicator of whether or not the planned order should be released. It is up to the user to ensure that all necessary approvals are obtained before releasing a planned order.
