Summary
The Order Promising functionality in Business Central provides exceptional support to purchasing agents.
Purchasing agents benefit when they create or change purchase orders. Business Central shows the purchasing agent when an order will be received given a specific order date or on what date the order must be placed to have it delivered by a specific date. They can also use the date calculation functionality to estimate when transfer orders are received at the transfer-to location.
Additionally, with the order promising features, you can set up calendars to reflect different working and nonworking day scenarios for individual customers, vendors, locations, and shipping agent services.
