Fixed Lead Time

This field applies to APS and MRP.

For manufactured items, the system calculates the lead time using the Lead Time Processor. The lead time equals the total move, queue, and setup times of each operation in the current standard routing for the item (rounded to the nearest day). If you do not use the Lead Time Processor, and you leave the Variable Lead Time field blank, you should enter the lead time as the total move, queue, setup, and run times of each operation in the current standard routing of the item.

For a purchased item, the Fixed Lead Time field should contain the number of days from the time the item is ordered until it is received. The lead time displays on the Purchase Requirements report.

On the Material Planner Workbench form, the fixed lead time from the Items or Multi-Site Items form displays for the selected record.

See Defining Lead Time for APS Planning or Defining Lead Time for MRP Planning for more information.
