You can edit ship dates from the Warehouse In Process Queue and Warehouse In Process Status Queue, if needed and when certain conditions apply. You can change these dates so that you know they are in the queue because they have not been shipped or completely received.
Note: Changes to invoiced orders will not generate picking or putaway requests for kit components.
For example, you may edit an order's ship date when:
You were supposed to receive an order by 11/01/04, but part of that order was backordered and the new ship date is 11/10/04. You can change this date from an in process queue.
The original ship date for an order was 11/03/01, but it was then changed to 11/09/01. You can change this date from an in process queue.
An order's ship date is today, but the truck delivering the order has to leave immediately. The order is not ready to be shipped immediately. You can change its ship date to tomorrow's date from an in process queue.
It is the end of the month and orders are still in process. From an in process queue, you can change the ship date to avoid issues with accounting and the closed accounting period.
