Underwriters asking for "order for abandonment" when lender already

I have had calls from debtors who are doing short sales where an underwriter
is insisting on having an "order for abandonment" when the lender already
obtained relief from stay to foreclose. Doesn't the relief from stay order
(where the trustee has an opportunity to oppose but does not) effectively
"abandon" the property and take it out of the estate? Am I missing
something? Do you also need an "order for abandonment" in order for the
debtor to sell the property?
