![]()
- Once user changes the requested date, they will get the popup message “Do you want to update the new requested date to all open lines?”
- If user clicked to “Yes”, the requested date will be updated to all SO lines.
- Similarly if user changes the promised date then user will get the popup message for “Do you wish to recalculate the ship date?”
![]()
Once user clicked to “Yes”, the scheduled ship date will be calculated as per the below method:
- Scheduled Date = Promised Date – Ship Days (Present on Sales order tab from Maintain Customer Screen).
If the delivery method is drop ship then ship will be calculated based on the Drop Ship Lead Time days
- Schedule date = Promise Date – Drop Ship Lead Time Days (Present on Setup SO option Screen in Average Lead Time).
