Re: variable lead times

Roy,

The solution is not in a variable lead time but in the lead time rate 
field in the item master on the Demand screen (INV100D2-03).  This is 
supported in v6.0.04 but may also be supported in other versions that I'm 
not familiar with.

The calculation for lead time, if there is a non-zero value in this field 
would be as follows;

Total Lead Time = (Order Quantity / Daily Lead Time Rate) + Lead Time 
Days.

Basically this field tells BPCS how many pieces your supplier can produce 
in a day.

We have not FULLY tested whether or not this actually works.

I hope this helps.

[BPCS-L] variable lead times






Afternoon

 

Anyone aware of BPCS supporting variable lead times - lead times based on
volumes - rather than a fixed lead time?

 

If so do you recall with which release this support was effective?
