• If there are any open purchase orders, the date sent to the web storefront is from the Due Date field in the PO Layering file.

However, the system does not assign a next expected date if the item is assigned a soldout control code with a status of:

• 1 (Sell out immediately).

• 2 (Include on order) if the available quantity is zero or less and there is no quantity expected on open purchase orders (based on the On order quantity field for the Item Warehouse).
