Replenishment lead time source

Select which source the system will use for procurement lead times for replenishment: • Warehouse item procurement lead times: The system will use the procurement lead time entered on each warehouse item. • Supplier resource lead times: The system will use the ‘order-to-receipt’ time entered on the supplier resource. When the replenishment method is run for a warehouse, the system will add this lead time to the order processing and material put away times for the warehouse item. The total lead time is then used to determine if the item needs replenishing or not.
