I was DA select for O6 Aug 2021. I moved into an O6 command position 30 SEP 2022. Trying to gauge how long it will take before my promotion order is cut? Also, will the order be backdated to the date of my DA selection or to the date I was placed in the O6 command position?

If you are Regular Army. You receive this promotion, when your sequence number determines when you are to be promoted. If active Army check with you S1 and your servicing PSB!

Probably fast. DA Select is much faster than UVP. I will look at you after lunch sir

You are seeing Awaiting Scroll Assignment. This for DA Boards is quick like month ish and then the Scrolling is 1 month ish. But for COL going through Senate will be the major holdup.

As far as DOR for O6 will likely be when SEN confirms the scroll. Not sure how the Back date DOR works. You would think to day it started scroll but that's not the case many times :/

CPT - my G-1 portal lists a status of "published: SO #114; 11-17-2022". Does this mean published to scroll, or order published? Screenshot of what I see below.

LTC (Join to see), two questions there - how long and what will the date be.
Easy one first - What date?: The date will be the date that you 'became eligible'. In your case this means the date you were slotted into the position and when you were selected for promotion (whichever is later)*. This will be the date that is processed on the paperwork moving you to the position, not the date you were told you would be going or such.
I have seen cases where a unit has played with the paperwork and backdated the date, but that's a no-no and will get people into trouble.
Second question - How long?: 'that depends' because you're moving at the speed of bureaucracy. I am going on the assumption that you've already met with your S1/G1 folks and submitted your "acceptance of promotion" paperwork.
I've seen it go as fast as a few weeks and I've seen it take a few months. Depends on how much other paperwork is on the desk of the people processing it. The "few weeks" was done by an M-Day Soldier that was already slotted into an appropriate position, had the paperwork completely (less the promotion list) and the day the list came out the packet was submitted, so this is more an anomaly than a rule.

Promotion date: AR 135-155, para 4-21b(2)

They did not sir. If ABCMR doesn't do it by reg then i'm doing a IG at NGB level and Congressional Complaint.

CPT (Join to see) - Rgr. It SHOULD be a clear-cut case for the board where the regulation states X and HRC did Y. Make sure you cite why it should be corrected and that you have the paperwork to back it up.
Did you try to get it corrected at the NGB G1 or at HRC? Give the other a shot if you didn't try both already.
