# Perform Future Action

:lock: Material.**PerformFutureAction**

## Overview

The operation is used to manually execute a Future Action. Typically, a Future Action may need to be executed manually if the Future Action execution mode is Manual or if an error has previously occurred and a manual execution is warranted.

## Setup

No setup is required other than to meet the preconditions of the transaction.

## Preconditions

* An **Active** Future Action is set for the **Material**.

## Sequence of Steps

1. Review the Future Action information that is specific to the type of **Future Action** to be performed.

For information on the parameters associated to the types of Future Actions, please check [[manage-material-future-actions]].
2. Select **Perform** to complete the transaction.
