Hi all, how can we make sure the system shows the lead time coming from the generated planned order coming after running master planning?
Thanks
To ensure that the lead time from the generated planned order is reflected in the system after running master planning, you need to make sure that the following steps are completed correctly:
- Set up the correct lead time calculation parameters in the master planning setup. This includes the lead time calculation method and the lead time setup for each item or item group.
- Run the master planning process to generate planned orders. Make sure that the planning parameters are set up correctly and that the planned orders are generated for the correct items and quantities.
- Review the generated planned orders to ensure that the lead time is calculated correctly based on the lead time setup for each item or item group.
- Make sure that the planned orders are released and processed correctly. This includes checking that the production orders or purchase orders are created with the correct lead time and that the material availability date is calculated correctly based on the lead time.
- Monitor the production or purchase order status to ensure that the lead time is maintained throughout the production or purchasing process. This includes checking that the actual production or delivery dates match the expected dates based on the lead time.
Additionally, you can use the available reporting tools in Business Central to view the planned order details, including the lead time calculation and scheduling information. This can help you to identify any discrepancies or issues with the lead time and take corrective actions as necessary.
Its the difference between Order date and Delivery date (depending if you have added any safety margins or not)
@Scarlett_Jonathon you are replying in the Finance and Operations/AX forum referencing Business Central, I thought I should mention it!
