Fixed Lead Time Reduction (Hours)

This field applies to APS.

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

Note:  The standard Fixed Lead Time value is expressed in days on the item record. The APS planning functions interpret lead time in hours. So, if the Fixed Lead Time on the item record is 3 days (72 hours), and you want to reduce it to 1 day, enter a value of 48 in the Fixed Lead Time Reduction field to reduce the value by 2 days. When you run the APS Planning activity, the system interprets the fixed lead time value as 24 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.
