+===== 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.

+  * 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.

+  *   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.
