Requested Ship Date - Need Detailed information

[Borvik]

I need some detailed information on how, when, and with what data the ReqShipDate field in SOP10100 gets populated.

I'm attempting to locate a field that will enable purchasing to know how backlogged an item is. I'm hoping that there is a date field that follows and order from the originating document - through backorders, and to an open document.

Anyone know anything about this?

I knew I seen that field somewhere - I found out how it is populated in the Sales Order Processing setup window. We have it set to the Document Date - and it appears that it follows this through properly to the final document.
