Demantra Questions - Location sync and Dates Used

Hello,

1) Demantra Shipment collection collects only those locations which have had sales in the past. If there are new ship-to locations setup in EBS (with no sales history),client wants to have those collected in EBS because they would want to start forecasting for those,so that supply planners can plan based on these forecasts. So, how do we make sure to collect the ship-to locations with no history ? 

2) What parameter drives the usage of different dates on the past sales history. i.e Past sales orders will have Request Date,Booking Date, Schedule Ship Date,Actual Ship Date. How do I control what dates will be used by Demantra ? We want to use the actual ship date on the order for our history and forecast generation.
