Changing the supplier delivery date calculation for orders

Introduction

The Orders process flow includes a field mapping which takes Shopify's order.created_at date and (via a script transform function on the mapping row) adds 5 days before sending this to Virtualstock Supplier as the supplier_delivery_date.

The 5 days that gets added here can be changed by amending the script that is used by the script transform function on the mapping row.
