Does anyone have any good documentation on leadtimes and how they are associated to delivery dates on POs? I am not finding much help through Infor Docs.
We recently learned that some of our items ordered are defaulting the delivery date to the same day as the PO is issued, as well as instances of a month or more in the future. On most of our Purchasing Vendor records, we have the Leadtime set to 7 days, and on our Process Purchase Requests job, we set Default Delivery Days to 7. Admittedly, I do not know if this is good practice, but it is a required field for the Process Purchase Requests job and is just what has been done historically.
Additionally, we recently learned of the Inventory Leadtime Review in FSM. Reviewing the LPL, it appears that any change in Average Days of 0.5% triggers the Item Location record to Needs Review. What then is the proper way to "correct" these? Flip to System Calculates and change the Average Days number?
This appears to be a confusing topic for me, so I appreciate anyone who might be able to steer me in the right direction.
