Description

Completed purchase order lines and their associated receipts.
This data will be used to assess supplier delivery performance, adjust safety stock and possibly estimate lead times.
Note that purchase order lines with multiple deliveries will result in multiple records where only the Date of Receipt and Quantity Received change.

Criteria

All closed purchase order lines completed in the last 12 months.
For large volumes of data, the 12 month history can be provided as a one off extract, and thereafter just purchase orders completed in the last 30 days on an ongoing basis.
