Use this dialog box to update the earliest unlimited supply date (EUSD) on inventory parts based on calendars defined on primary supplier address and ship via code. The EUSD is considered for planning purposes and also when creating order proposal. So by running this job the availability check and order proposal will consider the calendars used – this means considering weekends and vacations etc.
In order to get a continuous update of the EUSD the job for update earliest unlimited supply date must be setup as a scheduled task that runs once per day. This will ensure that a correct EUSD is calculated each day.
