Sales Orders and Automated Lead Times

Recently added to BlueBox 2.0 a new setting at Sales Order Category level whereby the number of days lead-time for the delivery of the SO can be auto-set.

If you edit the Sales Order Category, you will see a new field called 'Default Lead Time Days' - this number will be added to today's date to determine the ship-date for the associated Sales Order.

A small routine then determines if the ship-date falls on a Saturday or Sunday, or if bank/public holidays are set in the calendar (Publishing->CMS->Public Holidays) these are avoided too.

If a ship-date is manually set when adding the Sales Order this automated process is skipped.
