The reason for the return isn’t relevant—maybe a shirt didn’t fit, a toy arrived damaged, or they just decided they didn’t want the merchandise anymore. Whatever the reason, the retailer or manufacturer needs to have the proper return infrastructure in place to process and track these returns, ensuring that inventory is replenished or updated, and the customer receives a replacement product or a refund or credit is issued.

This caused an issue with having material ordered and delivered in time to build. Just because the screens may say expected date, required date, promise date, it seems like they are not consistent across all screens. I am unsure as to what date is pulled when viewing the commitment schedule and would like some concrete insight on that! Hello Taylor, Thanks so much for your query. Production orders have a required date, which is different from an order date as a production order is needed before building an order. Promise dates have a different calculation logic. As a Prophet 21 customer we recommend you enter a case and provide a specific example. Our Application Support team would welcome the opportunity to work with you to help you better understand the logic and the process of a date calculation. We hope this helps and we look forward to hearing from you.
