  • You can release a route only if it is in the draft state.
  • You cannot release a route that is archived.
  • You cannot modify a route that is released. However, you can revise or copy the route after it is released.
  • After you release a route, you cannot reverse the action.

For more information, refer to the Plant Applications ERP Integration Guide. The work order or process order is then consumed in the Order Management, Operations, Work Queue, and other modules.
