Sales/Purchases: Promised date automatically populated

I really like this idea, please add your votes to assist us in prioritising this feature.

My view is that the promised date field has nothing to do with the due date (for payment) of the invoice or bill, and amongst my clients is used (on purchases) for the ETA of the order, typically, and is ideal for that kind of purpose.

I think it would be inappropriate to fill this field with the due date.

What would be more useful is to display the due date as a field on the transaction, not just the terms. At the moment the due date can only be seen by drilling in to the terms. Whether this field could be editable would need discussion, presumably if it were, then the terms would have to be amended if the due date was changed.

I agree with Mike - promised date is not for the due date. I have clients using this for other purposes. Actual Due date according to the terms appearing on the invoice (and auto filling) would be good.

Hi Dale,

I agree with the view expressed by Mike James "...that the promised date field has nothing to do with the due date (for payment) of the invoice or bill..."

In fact within Forms it is labelled as "Shipped Date" as in the following screen shot of a default Item Invoice form and a user can have difficulties at trying to identify where it is input on a Sales screen.

As Jennie indicated "Promised" date field in a Sales screen can be used for other purposes as indicated in this screen shot of a Customised Item Invoice form.

Having said the aforementioned, if the 'Promised Date' is to be autofilled then yes I agree but only defaulting with the value of the invoice date, it may be of benefit to other users.

Come on MYOB, this post is six years old and nothing's changed. I'm looking for the same thing. Please advise if you've made the upgrade.
