Releases and returns

Releases and returns document containers moving out of and back into depots. A release is the order telling a depot to hand containers over; the guides explain creating it from a deal, sending it, tracking its statuses, and numbering it. Release source identifies whether containers come from your depot stock or a supplier whose containers are created at pickup. Returns provide drop-off instructions to a depot: create and send the return from the deal, then follow drop-offs until it is finalised. The guidance also covers cancelling a pickup entered by mistake and deleting or cancelling a release, including what is restored on the containers and deal. These procedures connect with leasing, where pickups and drop-offs are recorded, and with company contacts, where document recipients can be selected. Use this category to understand the purpose and source of a release, issue release instructions, manage return instructions, monitor movement progress, and correct an erroneous release or pickup while accounting for its effect on related records.
