Interesting that you asked that Mike, we are close to the end of a MAJOR
reworking of our lead times to do just that. We wrote an application (2
actually) that calculates the actual lead time from the routings (using all
the scheduling rules for PC&C with work center, routings, lot sizes, etc),
and optionally loads the calculated lead time into the ITEMBL record. We
use backwards scheduling in PC&C, or I'd offer the program to you.
Our I.E.'s have been working on this VERY closely to help us get this
correct. It's turned into a very valuable project, especially to help us
nail down our actual frozen zone for MRP planning. We hadn't done that
properly since the late 1980's.
If you are having trouble with this, I would recommend contacting Guide
Technologies and asking for Jeff Snyder (he's on this thread also, used to
be an independant consultant). He is who trained our IE's on how to
properly define all the parameters - something we had let go for waaaay too
long. We had people making adjustments to data elements without
understanding the overall ramifications to everyone else, so we had a real
mess. They got the data to work for THEIR situations, but messed up other
departments. Jeff was able to get our people to actually understand what
everything did and how it all tied together. (And they listened to him!
Amazing how an outsider is listened to more than their in-house people.)

Hello Group,
Does anyone have a solution in place for the correcting the difference
between MRP due dates (lead time based)
and Routing based date calculations for released orders.
We are experiencing some operation due dates planned after order due dates
at the time of release.
We understand that MRP and PCC are disconnected.
PS We are tailored for forward scheduling.
Thank you
