Which need-by date does the parameter Application.Receiving.ReceiptNotificationBasedOnNeedByDate use, the one on header, or the one on line item?

If it's the one on line item, do multiple notifications get sent for each different Need-by Date?

When receipt notifications are configured to be sent based on need-by date, the notification behavior can vary depending on specific scenarios:

• Receipt notifications are configured to be sent based on Need-by Date, and there are multiple line items with different Need-by dates: The notification is sent on the earliest Need-by date for a line item that has not been fully received. For example, say a requisition has three line items with Need-by dates of August 1, August 2, and August 3. If the first line item is not fully received then the Need-by Date for receipt notification generation will be August 1. However, if the first line item is fully received and the second one is not, then the Need-by date for receipt notification generation will be August 2.
• Receipt notifications are configured to be sent based on Need-by Date, and a change order is created, changing the Need-by Date to a past date: The Need-by Date from the past is recognized and a receipt notification is sent immediately.
• Receipt notifications are configured to be sent based on Need-by Date, and there are multiple line items - some configured for auto-receiving and some for manual receiving: The receipt notification based on Need-by Date is only sent for the line items that are configured for manual receiving.
• When Need-by Date is set at the requisition header level and not for individual line items, the Need-by Date for the receipt notification is defaulted from the header to individual line items.

This functions the same as the default setting but instead of referencing the Receipt Escalation Notifier parameter we use the PO need-by date as the reference to send the notification.
