1) The Actual Departure Date will be the Material Transaction Date. Delivery's 'Initial Pickup Date' & 'Ultimate Dropoff Date' is calculated based on the Shipping Global Parameter's setup. It can be either of the following:
a. Earliest Ship Date, Latest Delivery Date
b. Scheduled Date, Requested Date
2) The Initial Pick Up Date is the date on which the items will be shipped out of the warehouse. While creating a delivery or assigning a delivery line to a delivery,, the Initial Pick up date is calculated as follows:
a. If 'Delivery Date Calculation Method' Shipping Global Parameter is set to 'Earliest Ship Date, Latest Delivery Date' then the Initial Pickup Date => Max(Earliest Pickup Date).
b. If 'Delivery Date Calculation Method' Shipping Global Parameter is set to the 'Scheduled Date, Requested Date' then the Initial Pickup Date => Max(Date Scheduled).
While closing the pick-up stop manually or during the Ship Confirm process, the 'Initial Pickup Date' will always be updated with the 'Actual Departure Date' (Initial Pickup Date = Actual Departure Date).
