The Requested Delivery Date Stored in the Sales Order Header

The Requested Delivery Date Stored in the Sales Order Lines

Microsoft Dynamics AX automatically sets the delivery date using the delivery date control settings. Microsoft Dynamics AX uses the delivery date control settings to propose from today’s date when the warehouse can have product ready and shipped. Then once shipped, how long it will take to be delivered to a customer location.

There are three main methods of delivery date control:

  • Sales Lead Time (SLT)

  • Available-to-promise (ATP)

  • Capable-to-promise (CTP)

NOTE

Capable-to-promise (CTP) delivery date control method is supported starting from Sana Commerce Cloud 10.0.9 in Microsoft Dynamics AX.

For example, a customer selects the requested delivery date for the order in the Sana webshop, but it is not possible to deliver the order on the specified date, then Microsoft Dynamics AX will calculate the possible delivery date for the order.

If a customer does not enter the requested delivery date in the Sana webshop, the dates will be automatically set in Microsoft Dynamics AX based on the delivery date control settings.

To set up the delivery date control, in Microsoft Dynamics AX click: Accounts receivable > Setup > Accounts receivable parameters > Shipments.

The delivery date control settings can be also configured for each product separately. Open the necessary product and click: Manage inventory > Default order settings > Sales order.

If you select the Override delivery control checkbox and configure the delivery date control settings for the product, then the general delivery control settings will be ignored.
