Transmission Lead Time

This document explains how transmission lead time is set. Transmission lead time is only active when the communication with the supplier is by paper. A check is done in the following priority order to find out which communication code the supplier has:

  • 'Purchase Order Type. Open (PPS095/E)
  • 'Supplier. Connect Item' (PPS045/E)
  • 'Document. Connect Partner Reference' (CRS945/E)

If all three sources listed above are blank, the communication code is set to 1= Paper.

Outcome

A lead time is set for mailing a letter (paper) to the supplier.

Transmission lead time is specified per supplier (IDPODA/CIDMAS)

Transmission Lead Time is used as a lead time component to calculate the total lead time per item/warehouse connection.
