Re: Manufacturing Lead times

Hi Teresa
I dont have a program that does ship date changes, but I do have one that
does line item pricing changes during the order entry. I think something
like this would work though:

1) Create a file or use a field in mapics to store items and their lead times
2) During order entry use one of the user exits during order entry to call a
program
3) this program would check the index file for leads times and perform some
date math to calculate the proper ship date for the line item
4) It then would pass that date back to the line item being entered

I think this would work. Hope this helps.

Subject: [MAPICS-L] Manufacturing Lead times

Is anyone using a program --Or is it possible in Mapics to have Orders
automatically calculate manufacturing due date (ship date) based on
manufacturing lead time?

All of our items have different manufacturing lead times--2 weeks to 14
weeks and can be on the same order. We would like to be able to key the
lead times for the items and have customer service enter the order and
each item gets the ship date calculated based on the lead time.
Currently, they are looking up lead times (that we have stored
elsewhere-not in item balance) and calculating the ship date.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
