Calculate Need-By Date Using Offsets and Supplier Lead Times

Calculate need-by dates using item-specific offsets and supplier lead times. Configure separate default offset values for internal catalog, punchout, and non-catalog items to automatically determine suggested need-by dates when items are added to a draft purchase requisition.

Improve planning accuracy by tailoring need-by date calculations to different item types. For punchout items, supplier lead times provided in the cXML shopping cart can now be used to calculate need-by dates, helping align requisition timing with supplier delivery expectations.
