These settings control how Khaos Control calculates Required Dates and Due Dates for Purchase Orders.
Warning: Changing these settings may have unexpected effects on your purchasing processes. If you are unsure how a setting will affect your system, please check with the Khaos Control Support Team before making changes.
Understanding the Date Settings
The options in this section determine how purchase order dates are calculated and whether non-working days should be taken into account.
Required Date (Days to Add)
This setting adds a specified number of days to the default Required Date.
By default, the Required Date is typically calculated as:
Order Date + 1 day
For example, if the setting is configured to add 3 days, the Required Date will be calculated using the default date plus the additional 3 days.
Required Date Skips Non-Working Days
Default: Unticked
This setting determines whether non-working days are included when calculating the Required Date.
When ticked:
- Non-working days are excluded from the calculation.
- Any value entered in Days to Add is treated as working days.
When unticked:
- Non-working days are included in the calculation.
- Calendar days are used when calculating the Required Date.
Due Dates Skip Non-Working Days
Default: Unticked
This setting controls whether non-working days are considered when calculating due dates for items on Purchase Orders.
When ticked:
- Non-working days are excluded from due date calculations.
When unticked:
- Non-working days are included in due date calculations.
Saturday Is a Non-Working Day
Default: Ticked
This setting determines whether Saturdays are treated as working days when calculating Required Dates and Due Dates.
When ticked:
- Saturday is treated as a non-working day.
- Saturday is excluded from date calculations where applicable.
When unticked:
- Saturday is treated as a working day.
- Saturday is included in date calculations.
Sunday Is a Non-Working Day
Default: Ticked
This setting determines whether Sundays are treated as working days when calculating Required Dates and Due Dates.
When ticked:

Default System Configuration
New Khaos Control systems are normally supplied with the default settings shown below:
| Setting | Default Value |
|---|---|
| Required Date (Days to Add) | 0 |
| Required Date Skips Non-Working Days | Unticked |
| Due Dates Skip Non-Working Days | Unticked |
| Saturday Is a Non-Working Day | Ticked |
| Sunday Is a Non-Working Day | Ticked |
Example
If a Purchase Order is created on a Friday and:
- Required Date Skips Non-Working Days is ticked
- Saturday Is a Non-Working Day is ticked
- Sunday Is a Non-Working Day is ticked
- Days to Add is set to 1
The Required Date will be calculated as Monday, rather than Saturday.
This can help ensure supplier lead times are based on actual working days rather than calendar days.
