Here you will see the delivery period for the subcontract (the date when the order shall be returned to you). The delivery period is updated during order printout in the Comprehensive Document (Subcontract) procedure. The delivery period may be changed when the comprehensive document is printed. Here you can update the delivery period.
If you are making partial deliveries to the subcontractor, this field will display the delivery period for the last printed comprehensive document.
The delivery period is used in the Delivery Reminders - Subcontract procedure. Operations for which the delivery period + grace period have been exceeded, and where there is shipped quantity at the supplier, you can print such a delivery reminder.
The delivery period can be used to measure the subcontractor's delivery reliability. This is made in the Subcontractor Rating procedure (if you have set the Period to Delivery period).
