Hi,
In the Purchase order lines on a PO we want to record the following...
- The order date
- The anticipated delivery date - that's my terminology not BC terminology (we currently use the BC field "expected Receipt Date")
- If the anticipated delivery date passes (without receiving the Item or GL line), then we want to allow the user to enter a new anticipated delivery date, without loosing a record of the original date.
I am not sure which date field/s to use to achieve this (Order Date, Promised Receipt Date, Planned Receipt Date, Expected Receipt Date, Requested Receipt Date)
Note we always want to forward calculate the date/s
At present...
We have Vendors setup with a "Lead Time Calculation" and a "Base Calendar" (some also have a “Customised Calendar”)
We don't use "Safety Lead Time" or "Inbound Warehouse Handling Time" and therefore "Planned Receipt Date" and "Expected Receipt Date" are the same date.
To achieve point 3 above, I tried overtyping the automatically populated "Expected Receipt Date" but BC is then backward calculating the "Planned Receipt Date" along with the (purchase order line) "Order Date" I don't want this to happen (or maybe I need to use other date fields to achieve the same result???)
In short I don't want to lose a record of the original Order Date or the original anticipated delivery date (point 2 above)
Is there a way to achieve this???
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
