When the SO Entry form is first loaded, the header Delivery Date defaults to today's date plus the Default delivery date to today plus days, defined on the Sales Order User Preferences form. If this date does not fall on an active delivery day, and the option to Validate delivery dates is selected on the Sales Orders Module Control form, the delivery date defaults to the next valid active delivery date. Otherwise, the delivery date is the default, even if the date falls on a non-active day.
You can update default delivery dates:
Click Yes to update the delivery date to the next active day or No to retain the default delivery address.
Note: Changes to header delivery dates are updated to the sales order lines, if the line has a quantity outstanding to invoice, and the line delivery date equals the original header delivery date.
The Run Number and Drop Sequence of the customer, address, and delivery date combination display on this form. If the delivery date is not an active day for the customer and address combination, the Run Number defaults to zero.
Click this button to view a list of all the orders that are assigned to the same run as the selected customer or address, for delivery on the same day. The drop sequence of the orders, using the customer's address, also displays for reference.
The list displays sales orders with outstanding quantities that have not been generated into packing slips or invoiced.
You can determine which orders have progressed through to packing slip generation by the Reference number displayed in the table.
