Display Expected Ship Date on Reports and Saved Searches.

The Expected Ship Date field is coming from the Demand Planning module and is available in the Sales Order item line level. This will be automatically populated based on certain criteria and the user can change this date also.

But this field will not be available in the reports and saved searches as the Store Value box is unchecked in this field setup. So we have to create another field in the SO transaction line level(Hidden) to source this value.

This can be possible through workflow
