For example, if a recurring order is set for release every three months for a year, after the original recurring order expires, the system stops trying to reorder the item every three months. For a future, a provider can place an order for one month and set an expiration date in case the patient does not have the test performed. You can set up the practice preference for Future/Recurring Orders Expires After in File Maintenance.

You can manually select a test to be auto released using the Auto Release Utility or set up a practice preference in File Maintenance to auto release a test without user intervention.
