Just to mix things up a bit… (opening another can of worms here) I always like to throw in a new UD field in Order Release called “Promised Ship Date”… this date is not allowed to be changed UNLESS the customer requests, and you re-promise…
THEN I also like to allow changes to the sales order Ship By date if the schedule is known to be missed. This allows everyone to look at the CURRENT schedule and you can then make proper forecasts of what WILL be shipping (I dont like to hold onto old information when we know it is old… the Ship Date should represent what we truly believe IS the scheduled ship date.
