Leadtime Level

Specify a value that represents the leadtime for an item at its assigned level in the production process, as defined on Plant Manufacturing Data. The system uses this value to calculate the start dates for work orders using fixed leadtimes.

Level leadtime is different for purchased and manufactured items:

  • Purchased: The number of calendar days that are required for the item to arrive at your branch/plant after the supplier receives your purchase order.

  • Manufactured: The number of workdays that are required to complete the fabrication or assembly of an item after all the components are available.

You can enter level leadtime manually on Manufacturing Values Entry, or you can use the Leadtime Rollup program to calculate it. To calculate level leadtime using the Leadtime Rollup program, you must first enter a quantity in the Manufacturing Leadtime Quantity field in the Item Branch table (F4102).

If you enter * in this field, the system clears the Leadtime Level field. If a value is in the Leadtime Level field and a * in this field, the system clears the Leadtime Level field.
