RE: question about D365BC vendor PO expected delivery date and actual good recvd/delivery date
The correct sequence to use the dates is as follows.
Requested receipt date is when you are initially requesting the goods from the supplier.
Promised receipt date is the date you add when the supplier order confirmation is received.
Expected receipt date is then updated with any further changes to expected receipt.
You then have an auditable set of dates for what you requested, were promised and expected.
Note the following, Expected receipt date is the most important date as this is when the materials are usable. This date is updated on the line when you change the other dates.
There are dates on both the header and lines. Updating the header can also update the lines if you allow it to. If you have multiple delivery dates on one PO, you must manage the dates on individual lines. Amending lines dates does not update the header dates.
if you have inbound goods handling times, this will delay the expected receipt date vs the planned receipt date.
You could update these by config pack but that would be unusual. If you have large confirmations covering lots of orders and lines an integration may be worthwhile. Otherwise, doing it manually is probably as efficient as messing with imports.
