Days | For the Tolerance for Due Date, this field contains the maximum number of days by which the due date can be shifted backwards if the calculated due date is a non-working day (weekend or holiday).

Last working day before | 31 July
First working day after | 5 September
Tolerance | 5 days
If the calculated due date is: 3 August, ERP LN shifts the actual due date back to 31 July, because the difference between the due date and the previous available working day (3 days) is less than the tolerance. 8 August, ERP LN shifts the actual due date forward to 5 September, because the difference between the due date and the previous available working day (8) exceeds the tolerance.
