Variable Lead Time Reduction (Hours)

This field applies to APS.

Enter the number of hours that an item's Variable Lead Time will be reduced in the APS plan. This parameter applies to all items.

For example, if the Variable Lead Time of item XYZ is two hours, and you want to reduce it to two hours, specify 2 in the Variable Lead Time Reduction field. When you run the APS Planning activity, the system interprets the variable lead time value as two hours when calculating the release date of the planned order.

The system applies this value only if the appropriate Use Expedited Lead Time parameter (For Planning and/or For ATP/CTP) is enabled.

See Defining Lead Time for more information.
