- Extra time when a product is out of stock. Estimate the time it might take for your team to re-stock products. This is only useful if customers can order out-of-stock products (the option for this is in the "Products" preference page, in the "Products stock" section).

There are many more letters parameters that you can use to build the date format as you see fit: see http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php.
