Keep the Dates on Your Sales Orders and Purchase Orders Synchronized

Keep the dates on your sales orders in Order Management synchronized with the dates on your purchase orders in Procurement.

• If you update the shipment date, delivery date, or shipment method on a purchase order that you manually create or on an open purchase order that you revise, then Order Management automatically updates these values on the sales order line and adds the reason for the change on the sales order line.
• If the item is a pick-to-order item, assemble-to-order item, shipment set, or kit, then you can change the shipment date, delivery date, or shipment method only if the new value that you provide on the purchase order line is the same for all components that are part of that item, set, or kit.
• If you Use Global Order Promising to recalculate dates in Order Management, and if you change the promised ship date or promised arrival date in Procurement, then Order Management will change these dates on the order line, and Promising will automatically recalculate them. For details, see Use Order Profiles to Control Order Management Behavior.
