Overview of Pick-pack Lead Time
Pick-pack lead time is the extra time needed for activities prior to shipment such as labeling, packaging, or transportation. In the backlog planning results, this time is added to the supply pick date to calculate the planned ship date accurately.
- Ship-from organization, shipping method and destination combination
- Carrier
- Organization
If more than one pick-pack lead time is applicable on an order, then the pick-pack lead time for the ship-from organization, shipping method, and destination combination is given highest priority. The next priority is given to the carrier level and later to the organization level.
The pick-pack lead time is applied in the last leg of order fulfilment, where the end item is shipped to the customer. It is also applied when you transfer supplies between organizations within the enterprise. For example, transfer from the Central Distribution Centre to the Regional Distribution Centre.
