New field: "desiredDeliveryDate"

[Divesh Dutta]

Hello All,
         As I started this discussion on Dev mailing list because I
proposed  new field "desiredDeliveryDate" to be introduce in OFBiz. But
after getting BJ's comment I am redirecting it to User maililng list. I
have little confusion regarding the dates which are used in OFBiz. For
example :
1) DesiredDeliveryDate which is asked to user , while creating an
Purchase Order .
Result : When Order is created then, this date is saved  in  
estimatedDeliveryDate in OrderItem.

2) While editing the Order in orderdetail page, when user appends order
items in Order then again DesiredDeliveryDate is asked to user
Result: Now this Date is saved  in shipBeforeDate.

3) And As new feature which was introduced recently in OFBiz where Buyer
can record Estimated Delivery Date from UI in which is given by Supplier.
Result : Now this date is again saved in estimatedDeliveryDate

4) While creating shipment from Order detail page
Result : Estimated Delivery Date is saved in estimatedArrivalDate .

So purpose of these dates are quite confusing. I think We should have:

1) one more field in OrderItem entity  called "desiredDeliveryDate" and  
its purpose should be like  desired Delivery date which user wants,
while creating an Order or while adding items in Order after creating it.
2)  estimatedDeliveryDate : Its purpose should be like Buyer can record
estimatedDeliveryDate which is told by Supplier.

Thanks
-Divesh

BJ was clearly wrong about this, it belongs on the dev list.

I've replied to you off of this mailing list to establish where this  
comes from as I think it has something to do with a client request,  
but I'm not sure. Once the driving requirements are more clear it will  
be a lot easier to comment on this.
