Use Pick-Pack Lead Time in Order Promising
Add lead time to your scheduled shipment date and scheduled delivery date. Use the lead time to do various activities, such as to label and package your item, or prepare the shipment.
Oracle Global Order Promising typically schedules order lines to ship on the day that supply becomes available at the fulfillment location. It delays fulfillment only if it receives an availability check or a scheduling request on the same day that it must ship and after the value in the network model's Order Shipment Cutoff Time attribute. You might need more time to package and label the item, arrange for transportation, or do quality checks before you ship. You can now add extra pick and pack lead time for these activities and you can adjust that time according to the fulfillment organization, carrier, and destination. The lead time that you specify will offset the promised shipment and delivery date for each order line.
Use the Pick and Pack Lead Time attribute to add flexibility between the date when supply becomes available at your fulfillment organization and the time when you ship it.

Tips And Considerations
You must opt into the Use Pick-Pack Lead Time in Order Promising feature's parent, which is High-Volume Order Promising. If you’ve already opted into the parent, then you don’t have to opt in again.
You can set a value in the Pick and Pack Lead Time attribute on the Interlocation Shipping Networks tab, the Carriers tab, and the Organization tab. If you set it on more than one tab, then Promising uses a hierarchy to prioritize the lead time. It uses the lead time that you set for:
- The source, destination, and carrier.
- The carrier.
- The organization.
NOTE:
-
You can use this feature with different types of supply, such as on hand, transfer orders, purchase orders, or work orders.
-
You can't use this feature with a drop shipment.
-
If the value in the network model's Order Shipment Cutoff Time attribute applies at run time, then Promising will apply the value that you set in the Pick and Pack Lead Time attribute over and above the shift due to cutoff time.
-
In Planning oriented businesses, the Pick and Pack Lead Time attribute is best suited if you use the make to stock flow for supply planning or replenishment planning.
