Sales doc config: Commitment date
Used on sales orders (and/or items on the order) with a “delivery time” set. The delivery time is the maximum length of time you say you’ll take to fulfill a line item on the order.
Commitment date option: A
Means to automatically set the commitment date to the order date plus the delivery time unless the customer wants it later. Use it for orders where it should never be delivered earlier than the delivery time, even when material is available for an earlier delivery.
Commitment date option: B
Means to automatically set the commitment date to either the first date that the confirmed quantity can be delivered or to the order date plus the delivery time, whichever is earlier. If you re-save the order again and don’t change the material, requested quantity, order date, or delivery time, then even if more material will be available earlier than the commitment date, it won’t change the commitment date.
Commitment date option: C
Means to do like setting B, except if you re-save the document, if material is available for delivery earlier than the commitment date, it will change the commitment date to the earlier date.
