Lead Time Lot Size
The Lot size to be produced or purchased. The Synchronized MRP Engine uses this value to:
  • Determine the dates on which purchase or manufacturing orders for the item must be created.
  • Determine the wait period for unavailable items.

Example: If the lead time lot size is set to 10 and 30 items are required, the Synchronized MRP Engine considers the equivalent of three times the production lead time as the wait period to procure the item. The planned dates are modified accordingly.
