Lead Times

Use safety lead times to allow extra time for delays in receipt or production. Use damper days to filter out unwanted messages.

1. Purchased Item Safety Lead Time

Specify a value to be used in the lead time calculation.

For items with stocking type P, the program adds the value that you enter here to the item's level lead time to calculate the total lead time.

2. Manufactured Item Safety Lead Time

Specify a value to be used in the lead time calculation.

For items with stocking type M, the program adds the value that you enter here to the item's level lead time to calculate the total lead time.

3. Expedite Damper Days

Specify the number of days before the system generates an Expedite message. If the number of days between the date when the order is actually needed and the due date of the order is less than the number of days entered here, the system does not generate an Expedite message.

4. Defer Damper Days

Specify the number of days before the system generates a Defer message. If the number of days between the date when the order is actually needed and the due date of the order is less than the number of days entered here, the system does not generate a Defer message.
