Add Estimated Shipment Date Content Element

The Estimated shipment date content element is available as an app. It can be installed from the Sana App Center. In Sana Admin click: App Center > Apps > Apps Explorer.

Estimated shipment date is a content element that can be added to the product page templates, and product list system page as a content element that is used for the product lines. This allows content managers to add an estimated shipment date and available to promise / projected available balance quantity to all products with a single configuration, instead of configuring the add-on for each product details page and product list page separately.

Before adding the Estimated shipment date content element, in the Sana Admin click: Setup > Products > Stock and assortment. Enable the Stock visibility options.

To add a content element to a product or product list page, you must first choose a column layout, then, hover over a column and click the button  (add content). Find the necessary content element, hover over it, and click Add to page. If the content element is not installed yet, click Install & add to page to install the content element and add it to the page.

For quicker and more comfortable usage, you can search and filter content elements.

When you add the Estimated shipment date content element to the product page template or the product list system page, the date 31/12/2099 will be shown in Sana Admin. This is just a sample date. If the lead time is configured in your ERP system, a customer will see the correct estimated shipment date of a product in the Sana webstore.
