We would like to confirm the rules for Supplier for Purchase Part Lead Times on General Tab on the Supplier for Purchase Part.
We were told that the Procurement Lead Times are on a 7 day/week calendar and that all other lead times in IFS are based on a 5 day/week calendar.
Example: Supplier Lead Time = 4 weeks. 4x7=28 days lead time
Manufacturing or Expected Lead Times = 4 weeks. 4/20
Can someone please help us confirm?
Thank you,
Michelle
Your summary is close.
Supplier Lead Time on the SfPP is at 7 days
Purchasing Lead Time on the Inventory Part is at 7 days
Manufacturing Lead Time on the Inventory Part is at 5 days
Expected Lead Time is derived based on the Part Type that the Inventory Part is currently set to for that level item, which may be Purchased or Manufactured. So the Expected Lead Time (ELT) can be either 5 or 7 depending on the current Inventory Part setting. ELT will update automatically when you change the Purchasing or Manufacturing Lead Time, but also can be set independently of both of those values.
Yes, great. This is how I understood it. Thank you for the clarification as well.
