Due Date

On the Purchase Order Lines form, enter the date that the line is due to be received. The date does not have to be the same on all line/releases for a purchase order. A PO line/release should be received by this date, or it is considered past due. If there is a vendor contract, this date equals the PO Order Date plus the Vendor Contract Lead Time.

Note: If you are using the Automotive Industry Pack, this field includes a time. Accept the default or enter a new time.

If a purchase order is copied to a new purchase order, the Due Date of the new PO line/release item displays as today's date to be consistent with the Order Date field on the new purchase order, which has a default value of today's date when it is copied.

If the purchase order was created by firming a planned order, the system calculated the due date by subtracting the item's dock-to-stock lead time from the operation's start date, if not blank, or the job's start date if the operation's start date was blank.

On the Purchase Order Blanket Lines and Purchase Order Releases forms, enter the date the line/release is due to be received. The date does not have to be the same on all line/releases for a purchase order. If a PO line/release is not received by this date, it is considered past due. If there is a vendor contract, this field is equal to the Release Date and Vendor/Item lead time.

This due date displays on the Purchase Order Receiving form.

Note: If you change the due date and the item price is based on the purchase order due date (as indicated on the Vendors form), a message displays indicating the date change impacts costs and asks whether you want it recalculated.
