For drop ship transactions the ship_date_actual field which is passed to Receivables is obtained from the transaction_date in the rcv_transactions table. This is the date which shows on the Receiving -> Receipts form in Purchasing when receiving against the PO. In order to reflect the actual date the product was received, if different from the current date, this field should be updated on the form. NOTE: Prior to the fix in patch 1165312 the ship_date_actual for drop ship lines was passed to Receivables as NULL, which caused the order_date to be used on the invoice.
