Must-Ship-By
Also called: ship date, dispatch date, due date.
The collection an accepted order must go out on, as a date and time, such as Wed 14 Jan, 17:30. It is set when the order is accepted, from the client's cut-off and Ship-By Rule, and moves only when a delay the client caused ends, or by a Rush or Must-Ship-By Override.
Where you’ll see it
As Must-Ship-By on each accepted order, as "Ships by" in the order list, and on the client's own orders.
