Calculate Purchase Lead Time
Explanation
Use this dialog to calculate the total purchase lead time for inventory-registered
purchase parts. The total purchase lead time is the amount of time that elapses
between the time when the part is ordered and the time it is available in inventory.
The total purchase lead time is composed of four elements:
- Supplier Manufacturing Lead Time: The time that normally elapses between
the time an order is received by a supplier and the time the order is shipped.
This information is entered on the
Supplier for
Purchase Part/General/Order Information.
- External Transport Lead Time: The time that normally elapses from the
time the product is available for shipment by the supplier until the time
the product is registered as Arrived at the receiver. This information is
entered in the
Supply Chain
Matrix for Supplier page.
- Internal Transport Lead Time: The time that normally elapses from the
time the product is registered as Arrived until the time it is available
for inspection. This information is entered in the
Supply Chain
Matrix for Supplier page.
- Internal Inspection Lead Time: The time that normally elapses from the
time the product is available for inspection until it is available in inventory.
This information is entered on the
Supplier
for Purchase Part/Inspection Info tab.
To calculate the total purchase lead time, specify the site and choose whether
you want to update the lead time of the part or if you only want to create a
report.
