This project default controls whether the cleanup procedure (deleting obsolete PPLs) is executed automatically upon the approval of a release note.
For the traffic module, it is important that the item shipments should not be assigned to preliminary packages and approved release notes at the same time. To avoid this, a procedure can be launched which checks for item shipments on approved release notes that are also still assigned to the preliminary packages. Such item shipments are then removed from the preliminary packages which are deleted themselves if they do not contain other item shipments any longer. Finally, if a preliminary packing list loses all its packages during this procedure, it will be deleted, too.
