Purchase Order Despatch date

(4) ShareShare

Posted on by 2,445
Hi, in a PO, we are looking at measuring Overseas Delivery performance, one measure is delivery dates.
We have Order date, receiving date etc, but we want to add a date for a Vendor PO Despatch date & then measure how precise they are at meeting that date when we get the Bill of Lading Documentation.
 
Is there anything standard, or are we looking at Bespoke Fields on the PO?
 
The reason is we have to tell the Vendors when to despatch, so we get the Items at the correct dates as they are not good at planning and we want to measure their performance.
I have the same question (0)

    There are the Requested Receipt Date and Promised Receipt Date fields that can be used. But the intention of these fields is more about when the item is received, rather than when the vendor dispatches it. Otherwise, a custom field will have to be added, but it should be fairly simple to add a custom date field to the Purchase Order.

    Hi, You can also manage these dates at the line level, but if it is related to a long time such as shipping, and one purchase line is divided into multiple different dates, you need to split the lines.
     
    Then you can manage it centrally through the Purchase Lines page (you may need to show some fields)
     
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.

    I’d check out the numerous extensions you can purchase for containers from appsource. 
     
    we ourselves created a simple pte to track all this information where a single container is a single purchase order. 
     
    given BC lacks capability of D365 for multiple step routes covering quarantine, treatment, etc you can do some compensation for it.
