Is it possible to assign <blank> to a date field via BOI?

Ya. Unless it's a required field or something weird. What are you trying to do?

Client wants the Order Due Date to be blank so it has to be manually filled in instead of the default.

Interesting. I was wondering the same as Alnoor.

I had a client ask for this just last week.

If you mean Ship Date on a standard or back order (not quote) the short answer is Yes. In UDF Maint / SO Sales Order Hdr / rt-click / User Defined Scripts / Add, I would create 2 entries, one for each of the events I'm aware of that could set / reset the Ship Date: Table Post-Read and Column Post-Validate of OrderType sOrderType = """" retVal = oBusObj.GetValue(""OrderType$"", sOrderType) If sOrderType = ""S"" or sOrderType = ""B"" Then retVal = oBusObj.SetValue(""ShipExpireDate$"", """") End If If you don't care it's a quote / Master Order and you're now dealing with Expire Date then just do the SetValue() line only. I would also create another script on Table Pre-Write to check if Ship Date was left blank when they clicked on Accept, in case that's important. Make sure you back out of UDF Maint all the way until you get the Compile button and then click Compile. Also if you were in SO Entry, close out and re-open. Also if Allow External Access is off in Company Maint turn it on. But if you meant the Invoice Due Date this whole time, then same idea but on SO Invoice Header your SetValue is on InvoiceDueDate$ and the events are: Column Post-Validate of SalesOrderNo Column Post-Validate of TermsCode

Alnoor - I was actually already using the script that sets the Expire Date for a Quote, so I put the retval line in there after it checks for the type being ""S"". Since it doesn't even hit the type field when you pull back up an order, that seems to have done the trick. THANKS!
