Alternate Lead Time

This field displays the lead time for the selected item's alternate vendor. The lead time originates from the vendor contract record or the item's Fixed Lead Time field.

If today's date plus the lead time does not exceed the due date, a check mark is displayed next to this field. If today's date plus the lead time exceeds the due date, a problem indicator is displayed.

For example:

Today's date = October 1

Lead time = 5 days

Due date = October 8

Today's date plus 5 days equals October 6, which falls before the due date of October 8, so a check mark is displayed.
