Lead Times Attribute Group

Following are the Lead Times attributes and their possible values. You set these attributes when defining or updating items. See: Defining Items and Updating Organization Level Items.

Preprocessing

This attribute is controlled at the Organization level only.

Enter the days you must add to purchasing or manufacturing lead time to place an order.

Processing

This attribute is controlled at the Organization level only.

Enter the days required to procure or manufacture an item. For manufactured assemblies, processing days equals manufacturing lead time.

Postprocessing

This attribute is controlled at the Organization level only.

Enter the days required to receive a purchased item into inventory from the initial supplier receipt. You cannot enter a value if the Make or Buy attribute is set to Make. See: MPS/MRP Planning Attribute Group.

Fixed

This attribute is controlled at the Organization level only.

Enter the days required to make an assembly independent of order quantity, such as setup or teardown time.

Variable

This attribute is controlled at the Organization level only.

Enter the time to produce one additional unit of an assembly. Total lead time is variable lead time multiplied by order quantity, plus fixed lead time.

Cumulative Manufacturing

This attribute is controlled at the Organization level only.

Enter the manufacturing lead time of an assembly (in days) plus the largest adjusted cumulative manufacturing lead time of its components, where each is adjusted by subtracting the operation lead time offset. Purchased items have no cumulative manufacturing lead time.

This attribute can be calculated and updated by rolling up cumulative lead times with Oracle Bills of Material. See: Rolling up Cumulative Lead Times.

Cumulative Total

This attribute is controlled at the Organization level only.

Enter the total lead time of the assembly plus the largest adjusted cumulative total lead time of its components, where each is adjusted by subtracting the operation lead time offset.

This attribute can be calculated and updated by rolling up cumulative lead times with Oracle Bills of Material. See: Rolling up Cumulative Lead Times.

Lead Time Lot Size

Enter the quantity used to compute processing lead time (as well as fixed and variable lead times). The default value is the item's standard lot size or, if a standard lot size is not defined, the default is 1. See: Costing Attribute Group.
