Creating a Manual Release Document

The purpose of this job aid is to walk through the steps to create a manual release document to transfer materials from one subinventory to another. This is necessary when materials are entered in bulk to a subinventory and will be assigned to a site by the individual creating the document.


Receiving Materials

Before releasing materials to a site, it’s important that the materials are first received into a subinventory. Materials cannot be added to a release document until it is first received into the inventory that will be releasing it.


Follow the process for receiving materials as laid out in the Job Aid: Receiving Materials Using the DISH NexsysOne App.
