Shift delivery dates

Through this feature, you can import a file to replace old delivery dates linked to articles with new delivery dates defined for the catalog. This will also replace delivery dates in order lines containing the affected articles.

To import new delivery dates, make sure to have the articles listed in an Excel sheet with the following columns: Article Number, Current Delivery Date, New Delivery Date as shown in the below example:

Notes:

  • The new delivery date should be defined for the catalog and it cannot be a value that does not exist for this catalog.
  • The date format should be MM/DD/YYYY.
  • When shifting a delivery date for an article that has more than one date, you can use any of the dates as the Current Delivery Date in the Excel sheet.
  • You cannot use an old delivery date that was assigned to an article and then deactivated, as this could affect orders containing those order lines.
  • Delivery dates will not be shifted in order lines that are already consolidated.
