Examples of a Scheduled Order

This topic includes examples of scheduled orders.

The following examples use the dd/mm/yyyy date format.

Example 1

  • Start date entered as 02/01/2020.
  • Number of Deliveries set to 2.
  • Delivery Interval set to 5.
  • Delivery Period set to Days.

Two lines are created. The first line has Own Due Date as 02/01/2020 and the second as 07/01/2020.

If the delivery period is set to Months, the first line has Own Due Date as 02/01/2020 and the second as 02/06/2020.

You can also create lines with Own Due Dates that are on the same day every month, for example, the first of each month. If the delivery interval is set to 1 and the delivery period is set to months, then the start or end date is used to determine which day each month a delivery is due.

  • Number of Deliveries set to 3.
