Hello

For an item is there a way to set a buffer day which allows MRP to
incorporate a one day gap between the Start Date calculated for a Parent
Item and the corresponding Due Date of the component? We currently do not
utilise operation scheduling in PCC (due to a lack of detailed routings) and
a typical leadtime will be 2 or 3 days per BOM level. Relying on a component
to be available first thing in the morning on a start date, when the
leadtimes are relatively short, causes us problems for the management of the
subsequent material issuing to the parent item.

We have looked at the Leadtime Adjustment Factor but this seems a bit messy.

Is this a common problem or is our thinking misguided as to the
interpretation of the due date to start date relationship?

Best regards

Paul
