Pierre Smits commented on OFBIZ-6934:
-------------------------------------

Maybe current behaviour is fine for you, but is it for Resource Planners? 

In current code base setting the estitmatedCompletionDate is optional. But 
assignment of a fixed asset to a WorkEffort is not supposed to be undetermined 
(regarding the end date) as it would not work for planning (and utilisation 
reports). We have to keep in mind that estimatedCompletionDate is not the same 
as actualCompletionDate. The first is intent/plan/target, the second is 
actuals/reality.

So, we could
# make setting the thruDate a required field, or
# provide the service that, when the truDate of the fixed asset assigned is not 
set explicitly, uses the end date (estimated) of the task as the intended 
thruDate of the assigned fixed asset.

IMO, the latter would produce a better UX for the production run manager as 
he/she has less actions to execute.
