Purchase Order Commitment–Required Date from PO Required Date or Item Required Date?

I got an interesting question from of my customers who are willing to activate the purchase order commitments, the question was the documentation stated the following:

The Required Date must fall in a valid and open fiscal period.

The purchase order header has a required date field and the line items each has its own required date field, so which one will be used to commit the purchase order against the budget?

Logically each line item will be validated separately against the budget and therefore the date should be the line item date, after checking this it turned to be right and the system is looking into the line item “Required Date”.
