Purpose: Use this screen to indicate what time of day is late enough to trigger adding an additional day to the calculation of the shipping lead days and expected delivery date at the Alternate Shipping Charges by Via Window.
Number field: Enter the time, in four-position, military format, that is the threshold for adding a day to the shipping lead days and expected delivery date calculation for the Alternate Shipping Charges by Via Window.
Example: Set this field to 1500 if you would like to add a day to the shipping lead days and expected delivery date calculation for display at the Alternate Shipping Charges by Via window when the current time is 3:00 p.m. or later. If the shipping lead days would otherwise be 4 and the expected delivery date would otherwise be June 29, the window displays a shipping lead days setting of 5 and an expected delivery date of June 29 if it is currently past 3:00 p.m.
Leave this field set to zero if you do not want to add an additional day to the calculations at the Alternate Shipping Charges by Via Window based on the current time of day.
Note:
• This system control value affects the shipping lead days and expected delivery date at the Alternate Shipping Charge by Via window in order entry or order maintenance only, and does not affect any other screen, window, or calculation.
• The Use Business Days When Calculating Expected Delivery Date (K38) system control value also plays a role in calculating the shipping lead days and expected delivery date for the Alternate Shipping Charges by Via window. You can use the system control values together or independently; for example, you can add the additional days for the weekend without also taking the warehouse cutoff time into account, or vice versa; you can use both factors to extend the shipping lead days and expected delivery date; or you can omit both factors.
• If there are no reserved items on the order, the shipping lead days is zero and the expected delivery date is blank at the Alternate Shipping Charges by Via Window, regardless of the setting of this system control value.
• If the arrival date on the order is in the future, the expected delivery date will never be sooner than the arrival date. For example, if the current date is 6/1 and the arrival date is 6/30, the expected delivery date will be at least 6/30, even if the normal calculation of Pick Processing Days (B37), lead days for the SCF/ship via), and other factors indicate a sooner expected delivery date. The shipping lead days, however, will reflect the actual time estimated to ship the order to the customer.
