RE: Order Cancel Date

Dave -

Treat this as a blanket order, with releases. Each release represents a
trailer. Then you can track three different dates (request, promise, and mfg
due) for each release.

Subject: Order Cancel Date


We have customers, for example Wal-Mart, who place very large orders that
fill multiple trailers and take several days to ship. We need to be able to
track 3 different due dates for these orders - the manufacturing due date
for completing the product, the shipment start date, and the cancel or last
shipment date. Historically the company has entered the shipment start date
into the Request date field, and the manufacturing due date into its field.
The cancel date hasn't found a good home yet, but we need it to be able to
report whether shipments were made on time. Any thoughts on a good way to
handle this? Does anyone else have this kind of requirement? Thanks!
