What is the difference between the SCHEDULED date and the REQUESTED date?
KBS Windows allows you to record two dates against each sales order detail line. The Schedule date. This is the date that you committed to ship to your customer. The date that the order will appear on the despatch queue, having been allocated to FIFO, if stock is available. If the customer is JIT then the allocation to FIFO will be made in advance according to the delivery days’ against the Freight method code used. KBS takes account of weekends and holidays (specified in management). KBS stock allocations uses the Schedule date to determine whether the allocation should be made to FIFO. The Requested date . This is for notational purposes only. It allows you to record where your customer would accept delivery earlier than you committed to. You may have made a commitment (schedule date) by the leadtime in obtaining the product, the customer may have asked for an earlier delivery. The requested date allows you to record this.
