Set Executive Information Options

Select Executive Information Options in System Options Maintenance (XM) to set these enterprise-wide options:

Field Name

Type / Max Length

Action / Description

Use date P=Promised or W=Wanted

Optional
1 alphanumeric

Select P to use the date promised (adjusted date promised if the date changed) or select W to use the date wanted to calculate late shipments.

If you select P: Date shipped - Date promised or Adjusted promised date

If you select W: Date shipped - Date wanted

Because statistics are updated in real time, changing this option does not automatically recalculate statistics for existing shipments. If you change this option, you need to run the Shipments Calculation (ESX) program to recalculate them. Until you recalculate, the totals displayed on the Shipping Statistics screen in the Executive Information Summary (EIS) program will not match the days late when you drill down to the Shipment Delivery Inquiry.
