Specifies the demanded date of the demand that the planning line represents. The date is either the shipment date of a sales order line or the due date of a component line.

This date will always be the earliest date of all demand in the order. The calculation of new demand, which happens every time you open the window or click Calculate Plan, is done order-by-order. This means that the order which includes the demand line with the earliest due/shipment date is considered first, and all other demand lines in that order, irrespective of their individual due/shipment dates, are also calculated for that order. Therefore, all planning lines under one order header line have the same demand date.
