Lead Time Calculation Field, Item Table
Specifies a date formula for the amount of time that it takes to replenish the item. This field is used to calculate the date fields on order and order proposal lines.
Additional Information
Date fields on order and order proposal lines are calculated as follows:
On a purchase order line, the Order Date + Lead Time Calculation = Planned Receipt Date.
On an assembly order, the Starting Date + Lead Time Calculation = Ending Date.
On a production order line, the Starting Date + Lead Time Calculation = Ending Date.
Note
If the produced item uses a routing, then this is used to calculate the ending date. The lead time calculation is only used if the item does not have a routing.
When the Lead Time Calculation field is filled in several windows, it is prioritized as follows:
Item vendor card
Stockkeeping unit card
Item card
Example
If a purchase is ordered on December 20. (Order Date: 12/20), and the lead time is two days (Lead Time Calculation: 2D), then the purchased items can be expected at the delivery address on December 22. (Planned Receipt Date: 12/22).
