Date offsets are used in Transpas to automatically fill in a date.
Which date can be set up in the screen Date offsets:
- Main files -> Settings -> System -> Dateoffsets
- F11 -> Dateoffsets
In the screenshot above the date offset has been set to the next office day.
The offset is +1 (so tomorrow). Furthermore it has been set that saturdays, sundays and holidays should be skipped.
An offset of +0 means today. +2 is the day after tomorrow, and -1 is yesterday.
See the examples below for more information.
This date offset can be set for (among others):
¶ Creating a new shipment
This can be set in the screen Departments:
In the fields Loading date offset and Unloading date offset a date offset can be filled in.
The offset is relative to the fields entered under Loading date offset field and Unloading date offset field
These can be:
- Today
- Order date
- Unloading date
An offset of +1 for offsetfield 'Today' means tomorrow (unless this is a day which is skipped).
An offset of +1 for offsetfield 'Order date' means a day after the Orderdate (unless this is a day which is skipped).
¶ Shipments that are split
This can be set in the screen Crossdock routes:
Here the Loading date offset and Unloading date offset can be filled in directly (for instance as +1) but a date offset can be filled in for the fields Loading date offset ref. and Unloading date offset ref.
You can only fill in either a date offset or a date offset ref.
