Entering Dates for an Order
Access the Contract Header form.
- Order Date
Enter the date that an order was entered into the system.
This date determines which effective level the system uses for inventory pricing.
- Requested
Enter the date that an item is scheduled to arrive or that an action is scheduled for completion.
- Promised Delivery
Enter the promised shipment date for either a sales order or a purchase order.
The supply and demand programs use this date to calculate available-to-promise information. This date can be automatically calculated during sales order entry. This date represents the day that the item can be shipped from the warehouse.
- Cancel Date
Enter the date that the order should be canceled if the goods have not been sent to the customer or the goods have not been received from the supplier.
This is a memo-only processing option and does not cause the system to perform any type of automatic processing.
If a line on a sales order is canceled in Sales Order Entry, this processing option is updated with the date that the line was canceled.
