Set up default logistical date/time

A logistical date is automatically created when releasing a sales (return) order, a purchase (return) order, or a transfer order. The Shop Floor Activities page contains this logistical date, and it is used to chronologically display all outstanding logistics activities. The page is to support the planning in the warehouse, and it shows an overview of all warehouse activities. To use a logistical time, this must first be set for the customer, the vendor, and for the transfer route.

The Logistical Time cannot be set for the order types production, assembly, and service as this is copied from the document itself or left blank. The following Logistical Date for these order types are shown in the Shop Floor Activities:

Production Consumption: The Due Date-Time on the Production Order Components specifies the due date and the due time, which are combined in a format called "due date-time".

Production Output: The Ending Date-Time on the Production Order specifies the ending date and the ending time, which are combined in a format called "ending date-time".

Assembly Consumption: The Starting Date on the Assembly Order specifies the date when the assembly order is expected to start.

Service Order: The Planned Delivery Date on the Service Item Worksheet specifies the planned date that the shipment will be delivered at the customer's address.
