Release Sales Orders SRS - Orphan Deliveries
When we run Pick Release using the Release Sales Orders form, we get one batch_id, sometimes multiple delivery_id's (depending on the parameteres entered) and assignments to all of those deliveries (delivery_detail_id's). This is standard functionality.
When we run a scheduled Pick Release we use the Release Sales Order SRS. This gives us the batch_id, delivery_id's and assignments, but also produces many, many orphand deliveries that are open but without any assignments. For example, we run a release and we will get 800 delivery_id's on the batch. However, only 100 of those deliveries will actually have assignments when viewed in Shipping Transactions for and wsh_delivery_assignmenets. The other 700 will simply be open deliveries, without any assignments.
