Hi This looks great! ive tested across 10 different jobs and they seem to calculate correctly.
If it spans over 2 weekends yes I would like it to omit 4 days, does it not?
It does indeed omit 4 days 
in the majority of cases.
The only things so far i spotted was if it falls on Saturday its a bit temperamental. - So just need to slightly tweak the case statement in there
For example :
I would of expected this to have had a delivery date of 04/12/19.
Just a little tweak and should be decent
Fantastic that’s genius – could you explain to me how it works?
In summary:
Variable 1. Looks at the total days between the 2 dates
Variable 2.Then it off that looks at the number of completed weeks between the “Delivery Date” with 2 methods.
a. Number of completed weeks then multiplies it by 2 (Saturday + Sunday)
b. Number of completed years between the two dates (52 weeks * 2 day weekend)
Variable 3. This total sum of Variable 2 is added to Variable 1
Add Variable 3 to the ShipHead.ShipDate to give you the Delivery date.
The only thing that i have seen so far when playing about with it is that if the delivery falls on a Saturday its deemed an incomplete week (Think a week is Sunday to Sunday - depending on timezone / setup), But sure this can be fixed by just using a case statement and offsetting the calculation slightly
Hope that makes sense ?
I’m attempting to reverse this so I can subtract days instead of adding, and still land on a weekday. I’ll post if I can figure it out.
This is a quick and easy way to get close. I am in the cloud so I can’t call a function to exclude weekends. I am using this to calculate an Order By column using the lead time. Thank you!

Epicor should provide some formulas using a calendar. As they provide a formula to add days to current day. Then we would not need to struggle to find a way to get previous or next work day.
Hopefully be part of the Kinetic version !
Go vote for this idea if not yet done… it is indicated Future consideration…
