That Delivery date This is the date on which goods or services are delivered and the associated delivery note is created in SAP Business One.
In SAP Business One, the delivery date is a mandatory field when creating a delivery. Together with the customer record, it forms the minimum information required by the system for document entry. The delivery date also controls stock levels: as soon as a delivery is posted, SAP Business One reduces the stock at the relevant warehouse location – the document itself can no longer be changed afterwards. Additionally, SAP Business One provides two further date fields: The required date indicates the expected delivery date from the customer's perspective and defaults to the delivery date. The cancellation date defines the last date on which the customer will still accept the goods; the default value is 30 days after the delivery date. In the sales process, a delivery closes the sales order once the delivered quantity reaches the order quantity – in the case of a partial delivery, the sales order remains open.
Demarcation
The delivery date is not the same as the due date on an invoice. The due date is determined by the payment terms and the invoice date, not the date the goods are handed over.
