Release Wave Time-Triggered Transaction

This is a Task Q based time-triggered transaction, which works off a wave. It creates pick tasks for the shipment lines included in the wave.

This time-triggered transaction should be used to release a wave.

In the yfs.properties_wms_ext.in file, use the yfs.releaseWave.pickalgorithm property to select the algorithm to use to determine pick locations for the release wave transaction. For more information about the algorithms supported by the Sterling Warehouse Management System, see Section 7.2.1.4, "Algorithms Used to Determine Pick Locations".

In the yfs.properties_wms_ext.in file, the value of the yfs.releaseWave.pickalgorithm property provided out-of-the-box is set to blank.
