# Order Settings

> Control what information your orders carry when they're created, imported, or sent to your warehouse.

<Note>
  If you are an Enterprise customer with individual subsidiary organizations, remember that **shipper settings are organization specific**. Settings must be configured at the individual subsidiary organization level to ensure each subsidiary's operations work as expected.
</Note>

**Where to find it:** `Dashboard → Shipper Settings → Orders`

Order settings control what information your orders carry. They change what your team is asked for when creating an order, what Owlery accepts from a CSV upload, and what gets passed on to your warehouse.

## Order Production Date

**Value:** On / Off

**What it does:** Adds a production date to your orders — the date the goods were made or packed, as distinct from the date they ship.

Turning it on does three things at once:

* **Order form**: a production date field appears when someone creates an order by hand.
* **CSV uploads**: the production date column is accepted when you upload orders from a CSV.
* **Warehouse**: the production date is included in the order details Owlery sends to your warehouse.

**When you'd turn it on:** If you ship anything where age matters — food, beverage, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, or anything with a shelf life — and your warehouse or your customer needs the production date to pick the right stock.

**When to leave it off:** If production date isn't part of how you ship. Leaving it off keeps the order form shorter and simpler for your team.
