variable lead times in MRP140

Roy,
 
The formula Norman describes is the right one but be aware the Daily Lead Time 
Rate in INV100 is only the default L/T Rate that is copied to Facility Planning 
data (MRP140) on creation of a Facility Planning (CIC) record. 
 
I would suggest to maintain Daily L/T Rate in MPR140 rather then INV100 because 
BPCS MRP uses MRP140 data in the MRP run.
