Hi   @JasroV   ,   @BigRedConsulting   ,   and QB Community -

Thank you very much for the feedback.  However, I think the problem I'll run into with these suggestions is that the custom field won't be properly recognized as "Ship Date" when we run our reports. 

I don't believe the custom field will pick up properly as the "Ship Date" in the Sales Order Fulfillment worksheet, Sales Reports,and Inventory Reports.  For example, if we set a date range on a report, I believe the reports are going to pull data based the actual "Ship Date" field instead of a custom field. The "Ship Date" is very important to us because we need it when we review sales and also plan our monthly and quarterly production.

"Ship Date" is a key field in running those reports.

Is there a way to have the actual "Ship Date" as a column field?

Thank you in advance for any  feedback and ideas.
