Confusion abounds when discussing which fields to use on the PO to get my stuff delivered on time...
Here is the short and skinny of it and then I'll open the floor for comments:
- The "Delivery Schedule" tab, of the PO, holds the delivery date. This is the official date as to when the product will be delivered...
- On the same tab is the field "Statistical Delivery Date" which stores the original requested delivery date. This is the field that is used to measure Vendor compliance to on time delivery. i.e. You measure vendor performance based on the original date and not the adjusted date.
