DELIVERY DATE SIMULATION AND CONTROL

摘要

A method and system for determining a merchant ship date and a corresponding customer receipt date when processing an order in an ERP system. The method includes accessing a delivery date simulation form stored in the ERP system during processing of the new order and changing an existing order. The method includes generating a list of alternative merchant ship dates and corresponding customer receipt dates to be displayed on the delivery date simulation form. The list of merchant ship dates and customer receipt dates are calculated based at least partially on customer parameters and at least partially on merchant parameters stored in a database of the ERP system. The method also includes transferring a selected merchant ship date and corresponding customer receipt date from the list of alternative merchant ship dates and corresponding customer receipt dates to the order.
