Release date: September 2, 2025 Minimum Due Date
What’s new
New to vPPO is the ability to apply a minimum due date, based on ad types. When enabled, the pop up calendar will limit the available due date via a range specified in the ad type profile.
Who can enable it
This is an ad type setting. A Local Admin or the vCreative Help Desk can turn it on by setting the allowed lead time in the ad type profile.
How it works
- The range limit is set in the ad type profile, in the example above the minimum due date is one business day, the minimum start date is 2 business days. During order entry the popup calendar will only allow dates to be selected after the minimum allowed range.
- Dates not allowed will appear to be “blacked-out.” Selectable dates will be visible with a white numeral, gray tile and will be clickable.
Scope & Limitations
- The available dates are only limited when the status entered is Needs Writing or Needs Production.
- The date range is calculated on the following criteria: the day that the order is entered is not counted. Only business days are considered, so the due date can never fall on a weekend or holiday. For example, a spot with a 1 day Due Date limit, if entered on Monday, would not allow the same day (Monday) or next day (Tuesday) as a Due Date. The earliest “Due Date” would be Wednesday.
- If both Due Date and Start Date have limits, the start date limit value must always be equal or greater than the Due Date limit value..
Why it helps
- Reduces last-minute order submission
