Datelines in Standard Purchase Order

With this business function, you can enable the system to use the transportation chain as template for creating the dateline in the standard purchase order document. The system saves the dates calculated by scheduling in a dateline. In the dateline, the dates appear with their description, time interval, and a concrete date. The dateline appears in the standard purchase order as a separate tab in the item details of the purchase order.
