difference between Date Expected and Date Physical

Date Expected and Date Physical are different in concept wise but the values may or may not be same.

Date Expected will be generally Shipment date in case of sales order and delivery date in case of purchase orders.

Date Physical is the date of physical posting into the system. In case of sales order it is the packing slip posted date.(the date when the inventory is reduced physically)

In case of inventory journals the date physical and date expected will be one and same...
