The openedDate value for an order is the date and time
when the order was opened. openedDate is used to set the
business date of an order. The business date determines when an order is
added to the open orders report. A scheduled order should not appear in
the open orders report until the day that it is scheduled to fire.
To ensure that the order appears in the open orders report on the
correct date, set openedDate to match
promisedDate.
If you do not include an openedDate value, then
openedDate is set to the current date and time. The order
business date is then set to the corresponding day. In other words, the
business date reflects when the order was received, instead of when it was
fulfilled.
For example, on March 1 at 10:00 AM, you create an order that is
scheduled to be fulfilled on March 5 at 4:00 PM. When you create the
order, you set both promisedDate and openedDate
to the timestamp for March 5 at 4:00 PM.
