the issue I am seeing now but wasn't there before is. When you link a SO to create a PO. The create PO is taking the date listed under the ship to date vs the requested on date stated on the SO. Any one know how to fix that? 

here are screen shots: 

SO: 

Create PO: should state Jan 28th but it doesnt.

@SunnyM  What version of your Acumatica system are you using when you see this problem after the upgrade?

@SunnyM  This is not a BUG and it is default Acumatica behaviour.

When a Purchase Order is created from a Sales Order using Mark for PO (Purchase to Order) in Acumatica, the system automatically updates the Sales Order line Ship Date to match the Purchase Order line Requested Date because the sales demand is directly dependent on vendor supply.

In a purchase-to-order scenario, the item is not fulfilled from existing inventory, so Acumatica aligns the customer delivery date with the earliest date the vendor is expected to supply the item, ensuring realistic and accurate shipment commitments. This behavior is standard system logic and is designed to prevent promising shipment dates that cannot be met before the related Purchase Order is received.

In Short - Sales Order Ship Date changes because Acumatica aligns customer delivery with vendor supply when using Purchase to Order.

 

Hope this information is helpful.

@Naveen Boga  thank you for that. But this is a problem that didn't exist before for us on 2025R1 just started happening two weeks ago. If there is way to fix it that would be great. Thank you.

@Naveen Boga to fix it I have tried but nothing. If you mean did it pull the requested on date from the SO to create PO in the new instance thats what it was doing until 2 weeks ago.

Sorry, I’m not clear. Before the upgrade, have you verified in the brand new instance in the older version without any customizations?

Yes verified in both.
