Product subcontracting lead times
-

The transportation time from the subcontractor to the manufacturer, that is, from the subcontractor site to the production site.
-
Transportation time to
The transportation time from the manufacturer to the subcontractor, that is, from the production site to the subcontractor site.
-
Supply time
The production time of the subcontractor.
The transportation times are specified in the Subcontractor Location (tisub0625m000) session and apply to operation subcontracting and product subcontracting. The transportation times can be manually specified or derived from these data:
- The distance between the ship-from business partner and the address of the warehouse defined in the Items - Purchase Business Partner by Site (tdipu0190m000) session.
- The calendar of the carrier.
The supply times for product subcontracting are specified in the Product Subcontracting Model (tisub1600m000) session.
If the Resources by Site concept is inactive, the lead times for regular purchase orders maintained in the Item - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0610m000) session are also used as subcontracting lead times.
When the Resources by Site concept has the In Preparation status, the subcontracting lead times must be converted to the new lead times.
For this purpose, the Set Product Subcontracting Lead Time (tisub1200m900) session is used.
In this session, you can select the lead times that must be added up to compose the fixed supply times of the production models. You can select these lead times:
- Internal Processing Time
- Supply Time
- Business Partner Safety Time
- Additional Lead Time
You can specify these ranges for which the lead times are to be converted:
- Production sites
- Products
- Subcontractors
- Ship-from business partners
- Model revision statuses
Alternatively, you can manually specify the lead times in the Subcontractor Location (tisub0625m000) session and the Product Subcontracting Model (tisub1600m000) session.
