Field help (EXTRCPDAT1)

Help common to the Orders, and Buyer plan functions.

The expected receipt date must be entered. A date is automatically suggested by default. It can have various origins, including (in the following order):

• The date of the requirement when the requirement has been considered. When the line comes from a group of requirements, the closest requirement date is used. If you modify the suggested date and enter a later date, a warning message is displayed.
• The order date increased by the supplier lead-time included in the price list if it exists.
• The order date increased by the reorder lead-time from the product-site record if the product is in stock.
• The order date increased by the reorder lead-time from the product record if the product is not in stock.

This date is controlled with respect to the receiving site's calendar. If the site is unavailable on this date, a blocking message is displayed and you need to enter another date. You can also be returned a warning message when the entered date is prior to the calculated date. Once the order line has been validated, this date will not be modified by a price list re-initialization.

The planned due date can also be automatically recalculated when the date entered corresponds to a non-working day for the site. It is then automatically proposed as the first working day.

In any case, the minimum planned due date will be equal to the order date increased in the order by the lead-time from the price list, the Product-site or Product record.

Inter-company specificities: Within the framework of an inter-site or inter-company order, the delivery date requested in the generated sales order header is initialized to the nearest expected receipt date from the purchase order lines. The expected receipt date for each sales order line is initialized to the expected receipt date from the corresponding purchase order line.
