Row type 1-3 and 6
Here you enter the current delivery period for the current order row. The field shows the previous order row's delivery period by default. There is also a field for the delivery period in the Order header. If you enter a delivery period in that field, it will be used by default on the first order row.
A warning appears if the delivery period is entered as a date that is already in the past.
The delivery period can be entered using different date formats. The available formats are YYWW, YYWWD, YYYY-MM-DD. The date format will be converted to the format that was entered under Period Formats under the System tab in the Settings procedure.
On the purchase order document that is sent to the supplier, the order header will display the text "Delivery period = arrival our warehouse" and the entered delivery period on the order rows.
If a Transport time was registered on the supplier, then that time will be deducted from the entered delivery period. The delivery period that then appears on the purchase order rows during printout is the Delivery period minus the Transport time. On the order header, the following text will appear: "Delivery period = shipped your warehouse (transport time x days)".
In the bottom right corner of the tab you can enter Transport time for order. If this is changed, it may also affect the delivery period. You must then change the delivery period manually.
There are two additional delivery periods under Extra row info. Requested period, where you can enter our requested (desired) delivery period. The requested period is used in the Supplier Rating procedure. By configuring a setting under the Purchase tab in the Settings procedure, the system will automatically update the Requested delivery period with the order row's delivery period. However, this can only be done as long as the order rows have not been saved. Initial period is updated when you register a new order row, but can be changed during replanning.
In the Supplier Rating procedure, you can choose to use the Current, Requested or Initial delivery period as a comparison to the actual delivery period. The actual delivery period is updated during arrival reporting.
