If this feature is active (via the Consolidate Delivery Dates field in Point of Sale Control Settings) and you are creating a new order (sales, return, or exchange), the system checks for other scheduled open orders for the customer. If any exist, you can then reschedule the other orders for the customer, thus consolidating the delivery dates.
