Purchase Order Promised On Date

When you create a PO, the Promised On date in the header transfers to any PO Lines that are added.

However, if you update the Promised On date in the header, the Promised date in the PO Lines alters to the Promised On date PLUS the Item Lead Time in the Vendors tab in the Stock Item (in the example below, 7 days).

Is this a setting we need to change, or a bug (as obviously the Promised On date is the date the Vendor is delivering their goods to us. It does not need a lead time adding to it)?

Thanks,

Hello, it depends on situation. The Promised On date on the Summary area shows the date when the vendor promised that the items listed in the order will be received at their destination location.

This date calculates according to the Lead Time on the Vendor location, The Purchase Date will be set as Promised On date if the Lead time on Purchase settings tab of selected vendor is zero or will be calculated accordingly.

Promised Date on the Details tab means the date when the item’s delivery was promised by the Vendor.

The system will count the date according to the lead time on the Vendor location and on the Item. However, if you want to reset the Promised On date, the system will default on the Promised date for the item.

We found this confusing as well when starting out, but this is working as designed.

From our experience MRP is being driven by the line promised date, so thats the most critical date to monitor. That being the case, I am not sure why a header promised on is needed at all.
