The time between the issue date and the delivery date of an order is the delivery time. The Order Delivery Time indicates the time of delivery of the sales order. The Delivery Time is specified in the material and service records. The delivery time of the materials is specified by customers or trading groups. The delivery times are recorded in the Customers/Suppliers tab of the material.
The date calculated when the Material or Service Code is specified in the Sales Order Slip is automatically inserted into the Delivery Date column, and can be changed if necessary. The delivery date is calculated by processing the delivery time and Order Slip Date specified in the service.
Default Delivery Time
If the delivery time is not specified in the material, the delivery date default is specified in the "In Case of Delivery Time Not Specified" line of the Sales and Distribution Parameters located in the Definitions menu of the Administration module. This parameter has the following options:
- Slip Date Will Be Default
- Date Will Be Left Empty
When "Slip Date Will Be Default" is selected, the slip date is displayed as default if the delivery date is not specified for the material processed in the line.
When "Date Will Be Left Empty" is selected, the delivery date is displayed empty.
The timely delivery of sales orders is tracked in reports using the delivery date filter, and the delays are reported.
Change Delivery Dates
The delivery dates of the sales orders in order slips can be changed for any reason. This operation is performed using "Change Delivery Dates" option located in the F9 / right mouse button menu. The new delivery date is selected on the calendar. Once the prompt indicating that the delivery date will be changed, the delivery date is changed.
Delivery Time Control
The sales order slip can be checked according to the delivery time specified in the material, and transaction recording can be blocked when a delivery date out of this time is entered. To do so, the Delivery Time Control parameter of the Sales and Distribution Parameters located in the Definitions menu of the Administration section is used. This parameter includes the following options Will Be Done and Will Not Be Done. When "Will Be Done" is selected, the delivery date is calculated by processing the delivery time specified in the material and the slip date. When a delivery date other than these dates is entered, the slip is not recorded.
