Definition

This setting allows the user to edit the lead time in the order schedule to be different to that imported from the ERP system or configured within the Netstock app. Note: Not all ERP systems support this functionality, and yours may ignore changed lead times.

Use case

Because this may confuse an app user, leave this setting disabled. Rather teach them good practices such as setting the lead time accurately at the source so that last second changes in the order schedule aren’t required. Changing the lead time in the order schedule will not cause the recommended order quantity to recalculate, so it’s bad practice to do so anyway.

Explanation

At the moment of creating an order schedule, the app takes a snapshot of all the inputs into the ordering calculation at THAT POINT IN TIME in order to calculate the recommended order quantity.

It considers the following inputs:

  • Data - including stock on hand, purchase orders and customer orders

  • Demand - including sales forecast, BOM demand and DC demand

  • Inventory classification - stocked, non-stocked, obsolete, zero-stocked

  • Policies - Including replenishment cycle and fill rate

  • Other - including lead time and safety stock

If by the time you are viewing the created order schedule, and you realize it was created using the incorrect lead time, you may be tempted to change it in the order schedule. Changing the lead time in the order schedule will not cause the recommended order quantity to recalculate. It will only update the Due Date.

Note: Most ERP systems will ignore changes you made to the lead time in the order schedule.
