Black out Dates

Does sage have the ability to prevent shipping on certain dates like Christmas or plant closures?

    Not in terms of a calendar/scheduled black-out.  But you could pretty well accomplish that in user maintenance on each event date.  You'd have to have a role setup specifically for the functions you want to block.  Then go into User Maintenance and for each of the users to be blocked, set the expiration date to the day before the next known blackout date.  You'll have to go back in the day after the blackout date and remove the expiration date so they can use shipping again.  Not an ideal solution, but it accomplishes what you need and probably won't take long to implement.

    Part of this depends on exactly what you mean.  I kind of suspect your goal is to set it so that you can't set a shipping/promise date  for these black out dates?

    If so, there isn't a solution out of the box.

    I could see creating a user-defined  table that contains all the black out dates and then having a user-defined script that checks the dates and issues a warning or an error if someone tries to enter one of those shipping/promise dates.
