Hi ​@Vallin98,

I think in IFS Cloud, the Purchase Lead Time is calculated using calendar days by default, not working days. This means that when a purchase lead time of 7 days is defined, the system determines the expected receipt or delivery date by adding 7 consecutive calendar days to the order or planning date, without excluding weekends or public holiday unless additional planning calendars or custom logic are used to influence date calculations.

Purchase Lead Time =  Supplier Manufacturing Lead Time  +  External Transport Lead Time   + Transport Lead Time  + Internal Delivery Lead Time  +  Inspection Lead Time

IFS Documentation: http://clouddocs/ifsdoc/24R2/Documentation/en//default.htm?searchpage=assistant/CalculatePurchaseLeadTime/TaskAssistant

Please refer to the detailed explanation provided in the post.
