Through the Preferred due date, customers can let the Service know by what date they would like to receive each ordered part.
The Preferred due date is displayed in the Order detail view so that an order coordinator can use it to determine the urgency of each part, independent of when an order was placed.
The Preferred due date can further be used as a reference by production planners to prioritize urgent parts while scheduling jobs for printing. The date is therefore shown on the Parts view (column name “Due Date).
If you want to allow customers to provide a Preferred due date you can enable it in the Admin Panel. The field can be configured to be either an optional or mandatory input in the Basket.
The setting is found at
Home › B3_Organization › Organizations › <your organization> > General Settings & Features
If the Preferred Due Date is enabled and filled out by a customer, it is shown on
User Panel
Basket (as an input field in the Basket wizard)
Order detail view (per line item)
Service Panel
Order detail view (per line item)
Parts view (as column “Due Date”)
