The late tab is where you will see all orders where the date for the order has passed. The date that is making the order late is dependent on settings that the buyer has set.
- If you enter ship date, the lateness is often based on that value,
- otherwise late can be based off of the due date, promise date, or vendor commit date.
You may also be receiving emails when your items hit a late status. In order to stop the emails you will need to propose a new date or update the order line with shipping details.
Understanding the View
When you are on the Tasks view, you can look at all orders that need to be updated due to a late status under the Late tab.
You can click through each PO line (in the middle column) which will change the PO details and actions that are displayed in the column on the right.
