Supplier Lead-Time Variances View

The Suppliers tab shows details related to the items with variances, statistics on the lead-time performance such as Minimum and Maximum range, Variance days, and Variance percentage. It also shows the historical average lead time along with the suggested lead time recommendation.

You can adjust the supplier lead-time and copy it to the simulation set.

Use the advanced search and filter options in the search menu to filter the data based on the text and numerical attributes.
