Calculate planned receipt and delivery datesIn the Warehousing Orders (whinh2100m000) and Shipment (whinh4630m000) sessions, you can use the Calculate Delivery Date and Calculate Receipt Date commands to calculate the delivery and receipt dates for a warehousing order or a shipment. Calculate planned delivery dates If LN determines the planned delivery date and the lead times are expressed in hours, LN takes into account all the time that is available on a day according to the actual calendar. However, if the lead times are expressed in days, LN considers a day as a whole day if the actual calendar indicates that time is available on that day. Example 1 System date/time (= order creation date/time): Wednesday 7:00:00. Outbound lead time: two hours. The actual calendar is available from Monday through Friday each week, and has an 8:00:00 start time and an 18:00:00 end time. According to the actual calendar, a calendar correction must be added: the actual time to which the outbound lead time will be added is Wednesday 8:00:00. Consequently, the default planned delivery date is Wednesday 10:00:00. Example 2 System date/time (= order creation date/time): Wednesday 17:45:00. Outbound lead time: one day. The actual calendar is available from Monday through Friday each week, and has an 8:00:00 start time and an 18:00:00 end time. According to the actual calendar, no calendar correction is added. If, according to the actual calendar, some time is available on a day, the day is considered as a whole day. Consequently, Wednesday is considered a whole day because 15 minutes are left. The default planned delivery date is the start time of (in this example) the next day, Thursday 8:00:00. Note Select Calculate to get a planned delivery date that is based on the planned receipt date. You can, for example, use this option if you only know the planned receipt date. Calculate planned receipt dates The default planned receipt date is calculated as follows:
LN does not take into account the transport time if the warehousing order originates from a production order. If LN determines the planned receipt date and the lead times are expressed in hours, LN takes into account all the time that is available on a day according to the actual calendar. However, if the lead times are expressed in days, LN considers a day as a whole day if the actual calendar indicates that time is available on that day. Example 1: lead times in hours Planned delivery date: Wednesday 10:00:00 Transport time: eight hours The carrier's actual calendar has a 7:00:00 start time and a 17:00:00 end time. The ship-to's actual calendar has an 8:30:00 start time and an 18:00:00 end time. Both actual calendars are available from Monday through Friday each week. The carrier will carry the goods for seven hours on Wednesday (from 10:00:00 until 17:00:00) and for 1 hour on Thursday (from 7:00:00 till 8:00:00). Therefore, according to the carrier's calendar, the planned receipt date is Thursday 8:00:00. However, if you also take into account the ship-to's actual calendar, the default planned receipt date is Thursday 8:30:00. Example 2: lead times in days Planned delivery date: Wednesday 16:00:00 Transport time: two days The carrier's actual calendar has a 7:00:00 start time and a 17:00:00 end time. The ship-to's actual calendar has an 8:30:00 start time and an 18:00:00 end time. Both actual calendars are available from Monday through Friday each week. If the actual calendar indicates that time is available on a day, the day is considered a whole day. Consequently, Wednesday is considered a whole day according to the carrier's actual calendar because one hour remains. The transport will thus take place on Wednesday and Thursday. The default planned receipt date is Friday 7:00:00 according to the carrier's actual calendar. However, also taking into account the ship-to's actual calendar, the default planned receipt date is Friday 8:30:00. Note
Freight Management If Freight is implemented, the Freight load building engine uses the route plans, standard routes, and address lead times defined for the loading and unloading addresses to calculate the loading and unloading dates.
