I'd like to change the Delivery Date for Confirmed Orders (it becomes read only)

Question

Hello. In the Sales app, is there any way to enter the Delivery Date for an order AFTER the order has been confirmed? Sometimes we leave the Delivery Date blank (because it's unknown at the time), but we still need to confirm the order so we can send an invoice. However, once the order is confirmed, the Delivery Date becomes read-only and can't be entered/modified. Why? And how do I get around this problem? Please help with advice! TIA

Hi Kelly,
When you confirm the sales order, everything should be already set. A way to get around this is by activating the "Pro-Forma invoice" function, that allows you to send PF Invoice to your customers before confirming the order.

Hi Kelly,
As of version 13, they made it more difficult for users to get around these issues in a bid to make the system more secure. In earlier versions you were able to just edit the view and you would be able to write to a readonly field, but in version 13 it's part of the fields definition which requires a module to override.
You would need to inherit the sale.order model and reset the 'states' parameter on the commitment_date field.
