Business value
If you have vendors without specific delivery terms, such as delivery duty paid, delivery at place, or delivery at place unloaded, you must tell them when they should ship. This feature adds a new ship date field to purchase orders, calculated according to the configured transport dates.
Feature details
Purchase orders in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management currently include a delivery date, which specifies when the order should be received at your company's location. This feature adds a ship date, specifying the date the vendor should ship from their location.
The system calculates the ship date according to the new transportation days setup, which lets you define the number of days needed to transport items between a vendor's location and your locations. When master planning suggests a date for placing a planned order, it will also consider the transportation days setup to help make sure the goods will arrive at your location on time.
You can also choose to set up a vendor ship calendar to define the days a vendor can ship. When some goods need to be expedited, and a vendor makes an exception on their vendor ship calendar, you can accommodate this by changing or removing the vendor ship calendar for the relevant purchase order lines.
