How would I set the expectedshipdate (native field). I tried both of these ways and neither worked.

This is set by NetSuite depending on how you have your shipping configuration set up

Ah I see. We do things weird over here and at that field manually. It acts as our ship date instead of an estimated ship date automatically calculated. 

Do you have supply allocation activated? In that case, expected ship date is not accessible. It is calculated based on allocation rules and the supply required by date on line level.

It is strange that Netsuite doesn't have supply required by date on main (not even with supply allocation) or line level without supply allocation.

Was trying to set the visibility for the expectedshipdate field as well but was told by the NS Support team that it's only available if the Demand Planning Module is enabled for the account, and of course, the add-on module comes with another monthly subscription... not sure if we want to buy it just to use one native field.
