Due Date Calculation
Hi there,
I would like to do the following in NetSuite:
1) Set a "Start Date"
2) Set a "Duration"
3) NetSuite to calculate "End Date" --> "End Date" = "Start Date" + "Duration"
Example:
1) Start Date = 01 Dec 2019
2) Duration = 5 days
3) System automated calculation: End Date = 06 Dec 2019
I have tried a few of the examples I could find in SuiteAnswers, but I am constantly getting the error that the date format is inaccurate. This is also despite me changing the date format in the Home > Set Preference.
Is there any proven example that I can look at?
