We are testing the Backorder Processing functionality. It seems to work well until we hit a validation for the required date when attempting to complete the receipt header. We have looked and believe this validation is in the Java code. The issue is that the emails that are supposed to get sent to the planner do not get sent unless the Work Activity Required by Date is greater than Current Date. There is no way for a planner to know that the material (Stock) will be delivered prior to the Required by Date. The only fix if for the planner to update the Work Activity prior to the Receipt being completed, which seems to defeat the intent of the design.
