Set expected time of delivery
Several applications are connected to an order document to give the seller information about possible delivery date. Stock assignments gives an stock overview for necessary parts and raw materials for the requested product. Resource load in production gives an overview of workload for necessary resources (machines/peoples) to manufacture the requested product. ProdPlan gives an overview of running productions for the requested product.
The most important date stamps on an order acknowledgment are Requested date, confirmed delivery date and deldate, which is calculated based on these two and Delivery day.
Requested date is the delivery date requested from the customer. Requested date is the basis of accurate delivery statistics and is a key value for managing deliveries. Confirmed date is first set by the seller (or automatically by the system), but can be changed due to delays in procurement or production. The RamBase system gives information about changes in confirmed delivery date, and reconfirmed order acknowledgments can be sent to customers.
Requested date (REQ) and confirmed date (CONF) can be set on each order item, or on all order items as a whole.
