Normally, the system uses a median calculation to determine the lead time for products. However, there are circumstances in which the lead time must be manually adjusted. For example, a storm comes through the city where your manufacturing supplier has a factory. The building and several machines are damaged. The supplier tells you that the products' lead times will be pushed out three weeks until repairs can be made. Use the Override Lead Time Maintenance window to adjust and enter an expiration date. The override is in effect until the expiration date.
Overrides set at the product level take precedence over those set at the buy line level.
You must have the PRODUCT.MAINT.LEVEL authorization key set to edit the override lead time.
To override the product lead times:
In the Product Forecast Parameters dialog box, from the Edit menu, select Override Lead Time to display the Override Lead Time Maintenance dialog box.
From the File menu, select Insert Branch to display the Product Demand Parameters dialog box.
In the Enter new branch or territory field, enter the branch or territory ID.
Click OK to return the ID to the Branch field in the Product Demand Parameters dialog box.
In the Override Lead Time Days column, enter the number of override lead time days to use.
In the Expiration Date, enter the date the lead override lead time expires.
The system resumes calculating the lead time for the product on this date.
