Is there a way to automatically create releases in Order Entry while using configurator? Say the line has a qty of 6, it should create 6 releases with a qty of 1 each. Then, if the line qty increases from 6 to 10… 4 additional releases should be created at the end with a qty of 1 each instead of what it does right now (just changes the first release from qty 1 to 10 and keeps the remaining 5 releases at qty 1)
It sounds more like you are looking for the lot sizing feature, when you change the max lot size to 1 it will create multiple jobs with a quantity of 1.
If that is the case then it is in part setup an the site tab under the planning tab (At least it is in 10.2.500)
That’s not what I am looking for it to do. Right now when a line qty is changed to more than 1, it puts all the quantities in the first release. Trying to make line qty of 6 show 6 releases with a qty of 1 each without having to manually make a new release for each qty
I do not know if this is possible. You might have to make a customization.
Remember that when you are shipping this off you will have to create a customer shipment line for each of the releases if I am not mistaken… Is this what you wish to do?
Yes a new shipment for each release is fine to do
Yeah I am not aware of any setting that would create a new release for each unit on the line qty.
Do you know of a way to create a customization to do that?
You can run a trace on new release action and then replicate it in code. I have never tried, so I don’t know how to do it.

Do you know how I might go about doing that?
@ypatel instructions on running a trace, interpreting it, and building the corresponding BPM is advanced material to be sure. There are a number of places you can find some help on running a trace, but the rest of the task requires some programming ability and understanding of the way the Epicor business object libraries and functions work. There just isn’t any quick answer to this.
