how can i generate my supply plan based on the expected ship date of an item on sales order

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To generate your supply plan based on the expected ship date of an item on a sales order, you can follow these steps: 1. Set up the default expected number of days of shipment in

Setup > Accounting > Shipping

. This will help in determining the expected ship date on the Sales Order. 2. Use the Demand Planning/Supply Planning modules in NetSuite. These modules can help you automate the process of generating Purchase Orders (POs) and Work Orders (WOs) based on the demand and supply of items. 3. If you are dealing with outsourced manufacturing, you can create either the POs or the WOs through supply generation. The automation can run to create the other document. 4. If you have the Planning Workbench feature, you can use it for better supply side management. If you don't have it, you can turn on the feature. 5. If you have e-commerce connectors automatically loading in sales orders, you can schedule the fulfillment date to something reasonable for planning purposes. You can adjust your “Number of Days to Shipment” settings in NetSuite instead of the connector. This should set the correct Ship Date on the Sales Order. Remember, the actual ship date shows up on the Sales Order beside the expected ship date once the Item Fulfillment is created. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
