This functionality is used to populate the value of due date on sample and sample requests of material type and sub types. The functionality based on the certain configurations provided in the properties for due date calculation, the number of days from the create date, and business or calendar days to be used for calculation for each sub type of the material sample. The configurations can be set either at the request levels, or sample levels, or at both the levels.

For example, for material color development request, a vendor takes 5 calendar days to complete the sample or sample request. So when a user creates a sample or sample request on Aug 23, the due date on the sample or sample request gets populated to Aug 28.
