Shipment and Arrival Dates

For scheduled shipment and arrival dates, the system finds the dates that accommodate customer requirements for receipt of the product. This is controlled by a setting on the Order Entry Features page that indicates whether customer and carrier exception calendars and PeopleSoft Inventory business unit closure calendars should be consulted at field change, order save, or not at all. You can also determine whether transportation lead times are calculated at field change, order save, or not at all. When using transportation lead times, you can also determine whether the system should process adjustments to the shipment and arrival dates by calculating the dates going forward or backward. In doing so, the system continues to cross-check against the closure calendar for the shipping warehouse and carrier and then against the exception ship date calendar for your customer, until it arrives at dates that meet the restrictions. Additionally if the date is too early or late relative to the requested arrival date, hold processing can be used to further control the shipment.

Note:

When you change either of the scheduled dates–shipment or arrival–the system does not recalculate them. The system assumes that you are manually overriding the date. Changes to the requested dates trigger an automatic recalculation of the scheduled dates.

Note:

Schedules marked for customer pickup will only use the ship from business unit calendar. Customer and carrier calendars and transportation rules will be ignored.

Note:

When using the any of the exception calendars (customer, carrier, ship from) to calculate the scheduled shipment date and time, there may be an extra minute adjustment with day exceptions that could change the date of the shipment. The system will adjust forward by one minute if the exception represents an entire day (indicated by start time of 12:00 a.m. and end time of 11:59 p.m.) Block adjustments are not affected.
