Overriding lead time

Use these instructions to set up parameters in Product Replenishment Setup-Lead Time to override lead time if it falls outside of a minimum or maximum number of days. You can also define how average lead time is calculated and set a minimum and maximum lead time percentage. When lead time falls outside of that min/max, an exception is created during Purchase Entry Receipt of Inventory.

Select Product > Setup > Replenishment.
Select the record you want to set up lead time parameters for.

If you have not set up your company, you must set up this record first.
In the Lead Time window, click Edit. Specify the parameters for each section. The parameters pertain to processes or calculations that are performed independently of each other.
Click Save.
During Purchase Entry Receipt of Inventory, review the lead time on each line item. To exclude it from the average lead time calculation, set the Ignore LT option at the header or line level. If the Ignore LT option in the Header section is selected, you cannot change this option at the line level.
Each day review the receiving exceptions in Product Administration Exception Processing Center.
Select an exception in the grid to view the record.
In the Ordering view, click the LT History link. Review each purchase order receipt line. Change to the Ignore Lead Time option where necessary.
Click Recalculate Lead Time. The average lead time for all records in the window is displayed in the Calculated LT Average field.
To update the average lead time in Product Warehouse Product Setup-Ordering, click Update Lead Time/PO Lines. Otherwise, close the window.
