Promised ship date plus transit days = promised delivery date
Full explanation in JDE Help text
you can use the Delivery Date preference to have the system calculate the
delivery date based on the number of days that your items are in transit to
your customer.
A sales order has several dates that the system uses to determine a delivery
date:
Order date
The date that you enter the order into the system, or the date that you want
to appear on the order.
Requested date
The date the customer requests to receive the order. You can enter a single
date for the entire order or several dates for individual detail lines.
Pick date
The date that warehouse personnel picks the items from inventory.
Ship date
The date that you promise to ship the order. You can enter dates for
individual detail lines.
Delivery date
The date that you tell the customer that the order will arrive.
The system calculates the ship and delivery dates under the following
circumstances:
Preferences are activated.
One or more of the Branch/Plant, Route Code, Mode of Transport,
Priority Code, and Carrier Number fields match the key fields of the
preference.
Except for the Mode of Transport field, the fields display in the order
detail from the Customer Billing Instructions. If they are blank, no match is
necessary for the system to calculate dates.
When you set up this preference, you must define:
The minimum number of days between order entry and scheduled pick date
The number of days that goods are in transit between ship and
delivery
Before You Begin
Verify that the priority code information for the customer is set up in
Customer Billing Instructions.
Example: Applying Dates for Products
The following examples are based on the four order preparation days and five
leadtime transit days that are specified in the delivery date and order
preparation days preferences.
Action
Result
Order taker manually enters a ship date
The program enters the promised date in advance:
Sales Order Entered: Friday 11/6/98
Pick Date Calculated: Sunday 11/8/98
Ship Date Entered: Thursday 11/12/98
Promised Date Calculated: Tuesday 11/17/98
The system calculates the promised date by adding the leadtime transit days
to the ship date. The system calculates the pick date by subtracting four
days from the ship date.
Order taker manually enters a promised date
The program back schedules the ship date. The system subtracts the leadtime
transit days from the promised date to calculate the ship date:
Sales Order Entered: Friday 11/6/98
Promised Date Entered: Monday 11/23/98
Ship Date Calculated: Wednesday 11/18/98
Pick Date Calculated: Saturday 11/14/98
The system calculates the pick date by subtracting four days from the ship
date. A warning appears if the pick date is prior to the order entry date.
Order taker does not enter Promised Date and Ship Date
The program calculates the promised date by adding the order preparation days
to determine the pick date and adding the leadtime transit days to the pick
date:
Sales Order Entered: Tuesday 11/3/98
Pick Date Entered: Tuesday 11/3/98
Ship Date Calculated: Saturday 11/7/98
Promised Date Calculated: Thursday 11/12/98
System calculates a ship date that is before than the sales order entry date
If the ship and pick dates are prior to the order date, the system will
display a soft error indicating the pick date is less than the order date.
The order can still be processed.
