3. See that they are different

A sales order has three levels where the field "RequestedDeliveryDate" appears:

• Header (Req. Deliv. Date): Editable by the user. Defaults to all items and schedule lines.
• Schedule Line (Delivery Date): Copied from the header date, but can be adjusted. ATP check uses this to confirm quantities and can potentially split the schedule line.
• Item (First Date): Read-only information, calculated as the earliest delivery date across the item's schedule lines.

The app "Sales Order Items - Backorders" uses the RequestedDeliveryDate field and focuses on the sales order header level (items are hidden by default). Using the header date avoids a performance cost because, the item-level date (First Date) is a calculated field that requires joining and aggregating schedule line data at runtime.

If the other fields are necessary to be displayed, it is possible to build a custom analytical report using custom CDS views (cube/query) to implement any specific logic, including the item-level calculated date. In this scenario, the CDS View that should be used is I_SalesDocumentScheduleLine.
