[Sales Order Emails - Required Date]

Every sales order notification email that comes in lists a Required Date at the bottom under Shipping Method. This date appears on the purchase order email too.

 

The sales order reads as follows:

 

Supplier:

Shipping Method: UPS Ground

Price: $33.00

Required Date: 4/16/2014

Shipping Instructions: Must arrive the morning of 4/25/2014

 

Where does this date come from? Is there a way for the user to change it?

 

This is causing some confusion during production because it always shows one day following the order date which is not necessarily a deadline. The user in the example above entered special instructions containing a separate date.

[Back-order for Kit products]

I have created a Kit product that contains 6 components. Each component is available for order independently as well as part of the kit. I have set each component's re-order settings to automatic approval, which works fine individually. These settings do not transfer over to the Kit.

 

When I try to order more kits than we have individual components, I get the error message "The quantity chosen exceeds the quantity available."

 

Is it possible to have a Kit allow back-orders? If so, where do I find those options?
