Primary Lead Time

This field displays lead time for the selected item's vendor. The lead time originates from the vendor contract. If no vendor contract exists, or if the lead time on the vendor contract is blank, the Fixed Lead Time from the Items form is used.

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.

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 displays.
