Assign Drop Ship Expected Ship Date (I59)

Purpose: Use this screen to indicate whether to assign and display the expected ship date for drop ship items.

Yes/No field: Select this field to have the system assign and display or print the expected ship date for drop ship items.

How is the expected ship date calculated for drop ship items?

• Order Broker drop ship items (the item’s default vendor has the Drop ship output set to OROB Drop Shipping): The calculation is: expected ship date = the current date + Drop Ship Lead Days (H36) + the Lead days for the vendor item

• other drop ship items, including brokered items: The calculation is: expected ship date = the current date + FTC -- # of Days to Add for Drop Ships (C68) + the Lead days for the vendor item

Note: For regular (non-drop ship) items without an expected ship date, the date is calculated by adding the current date to the FTC -- # of Days for Items without Expected Ship Date (C71).
