Calculating expected dates

There are multiple factors that affect expected shipment and delivery dates.

Calculations of expected shipment and delivery dates for a given inquiry involve various factors, such as:

• Minimum notification time required by the node
• Notification schedule
• Level of Service
• Carrier pickup schedule
• Carrier hold time
• Shipping calendar of the node
• Receiving calendar of the node
• Receipt processing time
• Node capacity
• Transit time required for shipment
• Predefined transfer schedules between ship-from and ship-to locations
• Sequencing constraints defined between product and service lines
• Product search window - the period of time after the requested date in which an order line can be scheduled
