on a transfer order why would an item have a different expected ship date than the TOs ship date?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

The expected ship date for an item on a Transfer Order (TO) can differ from the TO's ship date due to several reasons: 1. Item Availability: If the item is not available at the time of creating the TO, the expected ship date for that item might be set to a future date when the item is expected to be available. 2. Shipping Preferences: In NetSuite, you can set up the default expected number of days of shipment in Setup > Accounting > Shipping. This setting can affect the expected ship date of an item on a TO. 3. Item Fulfillment Status: Once the Item Fulfillment is created (shipped status), the actual ship date shows up on the SO beside the expected ship date. If the item hasn't been shipped yet, the expected ship date might be different from the TO's ship date. 4. Multiple Locations: If a TO has multiple destination locations, each item might have a different expected ship date depending on the location it's being shipped to. Remember, only inventory and assembly items can be added to TOs. Non-inventory items, even if they have the "can be fulfilled/received" option checked, cannot be added to TOs. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
