 +==== Notes ====
 +  * The vehicle must be released to an interested party.
 +    * If a registered owner interested party is available on the vehicle, it will be selected by default.
 +    * If a registered owner interested party is NOT available on the vehicle, the box will be filled with the name "​Owner"​ for a default interested party name.
 +    * If an interested party is NOT selected and a name is entered, a registered owner of type "​Other"​ will be created and entered as the release to party.
 +  * Invoices do NOT have to be paid to release. ​ However, the user will be prompted to confirm this condition.
 +  * To get the vehicle off the active inventory list, it will eventually have to be discharged after being released to owner.
 +
 +==== Process ====
 +  * By clicking the ''​Release''​ button, the user chooses to only release the vehicle, leaving discharge to another user (e.g., a user at a lot gate that verifies the vehicle can be discharged). ​ The vehicle will remain on the active inventory list.
 +  * By clicking the ''​Release and discharge''​ button, the user chooses to remove the vehicle from active inventory, <​html><​span style="​color:​red">​whether or not sufficient payment is recorded</​span></​html>​.
 +  * In the ''​Release to...''​ box, either select an existing interested party or click the ''​Add''​ button to add a new interested party

 +
 +  * If adding a new interested party, after clicking the ''​Save'',​ the interested party will now be available for selection in the ''​Release to.. Interested party''​ dropdown box.
 +
 +{{:​support:​07_storage-impound:​storage_release_processing_4.gif|}}
 +
 +  * Using the ''​Process payment''​ button, collect as many different kinds of payment as are necessary to finish the transaction.
 +
 +{{:​support:​07_storage-impound:​storage_release_processing_5.gif|}}
 +
 +  * With each recorded payment, the invoice balance due and the payments list will be updated:
 +
 +{{:​support:​07_storage-impound:​storage_release_processing_6.gif|}}
 +
 +  * When the user is satisfied that sufficient payment has been collected <​html><​span style="​color:​red">​(remember that the vehicle can be released and discharged with open invoices)</​span></​html>,​ the user can click either ''​Release''​ or ''​Release and discharge.'' ​ As shown below, if the interested party is not selected, error messages will be displayed:

 +{{:​support:​07_storage-impound:​storage_release_processing_7.gif|}}
 +
 +  * If the user is choosing to release without sufficient payment, the user will be asked to confirm:
 +
 +{{:​support:​07_storage-impound:​storage_release_processing_8.gif|}}
 +
 +  * If the user chose to only release, the vehicle will still show up on the active inventory list:
 +    * Status will be ''​Ready for discharge''​
 +    * The ''​Discharge''​ button will be available to the next user for one-click discharge after verification
 +
 +{{:​support:​07_storage-impound:​storage_release_processing_9.gif|}}
 +
 +===== Exceptions =====
 +
 +  * If the company has a owner override code configured, and a user knows the owner override code, the user can undischarge and unrelease a vehicle. ​ This would be useful in situations such as:
 +    * After discharge, management determines that the invoice was priced incorrectly. ​ Pricing on a storage job CANNOT be changed after discharge, so the vehicle would have to be undischarged and unreleased, at least temporarily,​ to modify pricing and invoice totals.
 +
 +==== Process ====
 +  * Find the desired job in inventory using the appropriate filters. ​ For example, we want to undischarge and unrelease job ID ''​3910453'',​ as shown below:
 +
 +{{:​support:​07_storage-impound:​storage_release_exception_1.gif|}}
 +
 +  * Click on the job, and click on the ''​Vehicle Processing''​ tab,  The user will see an ''​Undischarge from lot''​ button:
 +
 +{{:​support:​07_storage-impound:​storage_release_exception_2.gif|}}
 +
 +  * Click the ''​Undischarge from lot''​ button, and the user will prompted to confirm that undischarge is desired.
 +  * If the user confirms, a dialog will prompt the user to optionally enter a note into the job history.
 +  * If the user clicks ''​OK,''​ the user will be prompted to enter the owner override code:
 +
 +{{:​support:​07_storage-impound:​storage_release_exception_3.gif|}}
 +
 +  * If the user enters an incorrect owner override code, an error dialog like this will be shown:
 +
 +{{:​support:​07_storage-impound:​storage_release_exception_4.gif|}}
 +
 +  * If the user enters the correct code, a dialog indicating success will be displayed, and the processing screen will be updated to show the available action buttons. ​ In the case of an undischarge,​ the user will have the option to again discharge the vehicle, or move backwards in the process by unreleasing the vehicle. ​ An unreleased vehicle will allow the user to modify pricing.
 +
 +{{:​support:​07_storage-impound:​storage_release_exception_5.gif|}}
 +
 +  * The unrelease process works much the same as undischarging.
 +  * Click the ''​Unrelease from owner''​ button, and the user will prompted to confirm that unrelease is desired.
 +  * If the user confirms, a dialog will prompt the user to optionally enter a note into the job history.
 +  * If the user clicks ''​OK,''​ the user will be prompted to enter the owner override code.
 +  * If the user enters the correct code, a dialog indicating success will be displayed, and the processing screen will be updated to show the available action buttons. ​ In the case of an unrelease, the user will have the option to again release (and discharge) the vehicle.
 +
 +{{:​support:​07_storage-impound:​storage_release_exception_6.gif|}}
 +
 +  *   The ''​Vehicle Pricing''​ tab will now allow pricing, and the user can now change the processing plan, return to inventory, etc.  These actions do NOT require an owner override.
