Lead Time

I know there are a few places to manage lead times within Lawson. Those that I know of are IC12, IC81, PO10. I wanted to see how others are managing lead times within Lawson. What have you found to be the best way to manage these to provide accurate reporting information for end users. We're just now beginning to look at this but wanted to learn from others who are already doing this.

Also curious to know how each screen (IC12, IC81, PO10) interacts with the delivery dates in PO20.

Hi Neil,

We are starting to look at lead times in our system to standardize. Wondered if you received feedback on your question or if you have found some best practices you can share on lead time management? Thank you-

Hi Sue,

We moved to system controlled in IC12 for a large percentage of our items. Those that go into a review status we pull from IC226. We'll review those, make updates to the lead time as needed and move the items back to system controlled.

System controlled is not ideal with how it functions by averaging the last two times the item was ordered and received. It does provide better data than the manual review process we had. Eventually we'll handle the unique items and vendors manually or through PO10.
