Al is dead-on when he suggests the in-transit time is not going to be
consistent by item or customer.
Nor will it be consistent by mode of transportation. And since the time is
distance, transportation mode and product size dependent
providing the parameters often requires a 3 dimensional table:
ZIP code and/or country for distance
Transportation Mode for Time
Product class as a time modifier.
A 12 foot high, 40K pound piece of machinery travelling by escorted truck
does not take the same time as a repair part for that same machine traveling
by UPS.

We call it transit time. (days by truck train air ship whatever)
405CD has a schedule date, which BPCS does not use, it is a reference date
in customer orders, for users to use however they please.
Release date is what MRP CAP DRP etc. use to schedule production and
materials.
Our users and managers have had an evolution of thinking how best to handle
transit time. Some use schedule date to show when we want or expect it to
arrive at customer facility.
I think there should be a field associated with ship-to file geography and
facility geography, to provide estimated transit time, because this is not
going to be consistent by item or customer.

Isn't there somewhere to plug in to allow this 4 weeks?
