Helpful Hints
  • The R/O/C column in the field description tables below defines whether the field is required (R), optional (O), or conditional (C).
  • On certain screens you may have to scroll to view some data entry fields.
  • The Term Contract Release Order ME23N display transaction screen consists of 3 sections: the Header section, the Item Overview section, and the Item Detail section. The Header section contains information that applies to the entire order. The Item Overview section contains a grid of the primary fields for a line item. The Item Detail section contains all of the available fields for a line item.
  • When opening the display transaction, the last order, with which you worked, will display. You will need to select the order that you wish to display by selecting it from the Document Overview or from the Other Document button.
  • Depending on various factors and in what state you left the TC Release Order display transaction, the different screen sections may be expanded or collapsed. When entering the transaction, open the sections as needed by clicking to the left of each section.
  • The Item Overview and Item Detail do not remain synchronized on the screen. By clicking on and selecting a line in the Item Overview, the Item Detail does not automatically refresh to that line, as you may expect. Use the large arrow keys at the top of the Item Detail section to scroll to the information for the appropriate line. The line item number is indicated in the field in front of the arrow keys.
  • Once you display the TC Release Order, and if you have editing capabilities, you can click to enter the editing mode.
