Expedited Variable Lead Time

This field applies to APS.

Enter the variable (per-piece) expedited lead time (in hours) for this item. When you run the APS Planning activity, if the initial pull-planning pass using standard lead time projects a date in the past, the Expedited Variable Lead Time will be used.

See About Pull Planning.

Keep in mind that the expedited lead time values on the Items or Multi-Site Items form replace the standard lead time values, while the expedited lead time reduction fields on the Planning Parameters form REDUCE the standard lead time values. This item-level value overrides the global reduction value if both are specified.

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.
