The optimize confirmed dates for CTP line changes feature ensures that confirmed ship and receipt dates on sales order lines stay accurate when you modify fields that affect transport days. When you use capable-to-promise (CTP) with Planning Optimization, this feature automatically adjusts the confirmed dates to optimize delivery without requiring user action.
Important
- This is a preview feature.
- Preview features aren’t meant for production use and might have restricted functionality. These features are subject to supplemental terms of use, and are available before an official release so that customers can get early access and provide feedback.
When the feature applies
This feature applies when you modify a sales order line in a way that changes the calculated transport days. Changes to any of the following fields can affect transport days:
- Mode of delivery
- Warehouse
- Delivery address
Transport days can either increase (for example, when the delivery mode adds more days, or when the destination or warehouse changes to a more distant location) or decrease (for example, when the delivery mode is faster).
How the feature works
When you modify a field on a sales order line that impacts transport days, the system automatically recalculates the requested and confirmed dates to reflect the new transport days.
The system optimizes the confirmed dates as follows:
- If the confirmed receipt date equals the requested receipt date and no past shipment is needed, the ship date moves closer to the receipt date.
- If the confirmed receipt date is later than the requested receipt date, the system optimizes toward the requested date within shipping constraints.
- If the change would cause the ship date to fall in the past, the confirmed receipt date is scheduled forward from the first feasible ship date.
Prerequisites
Before you can use the optimize confirmed dates for CTP line changes feature, your system must meet the following requirements:
- You must be running Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management version 10.0.48 build 10.0.2645.33 or later.
- You must use Planning Optimization.
- You must use capable-to-promise (CTP) delivery date control on the sales order line. You can use either Near real-time CTP or Batch CTP.
- The (Preview) Optimize confirmed dates for CTP line changes feature must be turned on in Feature management.
Example scenario 1: Changing to a faster mode of delivery
This example shows how the feature adjusts confirmed dates when you change the mode of delivery to one with fewer transport days.
Example scenario 1 setup
The following modes of delivery are configured:
- Air – 1 transport day
- Truck – 10 transport days
Initial sales order line with truck
The user creates a sales order line with Mode of delivery set to Truck. CTP returns the following dates:
- Requested ship date – November 11, 2025
- Confirmed ship date – November 11, 2025
- Requested receipt date – November 10, 2025
- Confirmed receipt date – November 10, 2025
Change the mode of delivery to air
The user changes Mode of delivery to Air. The optimize confirmed dates for CTP line changes feature automatically adjusts the dates to reflect the shorter transport time. The result is:
- Requested ship date – November 9, 2025
- Confirmed ship date – November 9, 2025
- Requested receipt date – November 10, 2025
- Confirmed receipt date – November 10, 2025
Without this feature, the requested and confirmed ship dates stay November 1, 2025 even though only one transport day is required.
Example scenario 2: Changing to a slower mode of delivery
This example shows how the optimize confirmed dates for CTP line changes feature adjusts confirmed dates when you change the mode of delivery to one with more transport days.
Example scenario 2 setup
The following modes of delivery are configured:
- Air – 1 transport day
- Truck – 10 transport days
Initial sales order line with air
You create a sales order line with Mode of delivery set to Air. CTP returns the following dates:
- Requested ship date – November 9, 2025
- Confirmed ship date – November 9, 2025
- Requested receipt date – November 10, 2025
- Confirmed receipt date – November 10, 2025
Change the mode of delivery to truck
You change Mode of delivery to Truck. The optimize confirmed dates for CTP line changes feature automatically adjusts the dates to reflect the longer transport time. Assuming there's no delay and the item can be shipped on November 1, 2025, the result is:
- Requested ship date – November 1, 2025
- Confirmed ship date – November 1, 2025
- Requested receipt date – November 10, 2025
- Confirmed receipt date – November 10, 2025
Without this feature, the requested and confirmed receipt dates would shift to November 19, 2025 because the original ship date of November 9, 2025 plus 10 transport days would be used, even though the item is available earlier.
