You must configure the system to indicate on which days suppliers will issue their dispatches to you. Note: These values may be allocated to any of the suppliers’ listed addresses from which they may dispatch goods.

Select the Work with business partners menu item.
Mark the applicable supplier and click Chg.
Navigate to the Address file panel and select the applicable record.
You access the Address file detail panel. Ensure the Suppl dispatch addr field is set to YES. Click the Disp days function key.
You access the Supplier dispatch days panel. Complete the following:

Days of the week: The days of the week are set to NO by default. Set those days of the week to YES that you wish to allow this particular supplier to issue dispatches on.

Click OK to confirm your selections and return to the previous panel.

Exclusion days
You may wish to exclude some of the usually valid days on which dispatches may not be allowed to be issued by suppliers, as in the case of Bank Holidays, Public Holidays or the equivalent term that is used in your region. In these instances, re-enter the Supplier dispatch days panel and click the Maintain dispatch dates function key.

You access the Supplier dispatch days detail panel.

Select the date(s) that you wish to have excluded from possible valid dispatch dates and click Exclude. The Excluded column is set to YES for the applicable date, denoting that the date in question has been excluded as a valid date on which dispatches from this supplier may be received.

For those dates that have been previously excluded, but you now wish to have included once more, select the applicable dates and click Include.

To include another date, click Add and enter the date (in your local country format) in the pop-up window that appears. This new date will then appear in the list.

Click OK to update and exit the routine.

Other considerations
In dealing with the supplier dispatch address, you also need to indicate to the system how this will affect the supplier transport delivery. In Work with supplier transport times, the Address no column denotes the address that is to be regarded as the suppliers’ dispatch address. You configure this when setting up a new record for this table in the Address number field.
