Item Lead Times Specifications

The following are the item lead time specification attributes and their possible values. You set these attributes when defining or updating items.

Attribute Name	Description
Cumulative Manufacturing	Enter the manufacturing lead time of an assembly (in days) plus the largest adjusted cumulative manufacturing lead time of its components, where each is adjusted by subtracting the operation lead time offset. Purchased items have no cumulative manufacturing lead time.
Cumulative Total	Enter the total lead time of the assembly plus the largest adjusted cumulative total lead time of its components, where each is adjusted by subtracting the operation lead time offset.
Fixed	Enter the days required to make an assembly independent of order quantity, such as setup or tear down time.
Lead Time Lot Size	Enter the quantity used to compute processing lead time (as well as fixed and variable lead times). The default value is the item's standard lot size or, if a standard lot size is not defined.
Postprocessing Days	Enter the days required to receive a purchased item into inventory from the initial supplier receipt. You cannot enter a value if the Make or Buy attribute is set to Make.
Preprocessing Days	Enter the days you must add to purchasing or manufacturing lead time to place an order.
Processing Days	Enter the days required to procure or manufacture an item. For manufactured assemblies, processing days equals manufacturing lead time.
Variable	Enter the time to produce one additional unit of an assembly. Total lead time is variable lead time multiplied by order quantity, plus fixed lead time.
