This program allows you to analyse the lead time for the item/warehouse and supplier combinations in this selection. The system takes the lead time value per item, per line from the Purchase statistics file and calculates the average lead time per item and supplier for the selection. You also have the option of updating this information in the Item file for each item/supplier combination in the selection.
By using the date intervals (six periods) it is possible to see the real lead time trend on the same report.
Note: The calculation of lead time is based on print date and reception date on each line. However, in situations where the user has deliberately entered a dispatch date forward in time, the program compensates this with the information from request date on the order line and actual lead time in the Item/Supplier file.

Only shown if DC1 Manufacturing is installed. - Order type
- Update item file
- Indicate if you want to update the lead time of each item in the Item/Supplier file in this selection. Note: This field must be NO, if Update in work file is YES.
- Update in work file
- Indicate if you want to update the created report in a work file in order to analyse the result before the lead time is updated in the Item/Supplier file. If you set to YES, then you are able to modify the lead time values in the analysis in Work with lead time ID before updating. Note: This field must be NO, if Update item file is YES.
- Lead time ID
- Enter a code to identify the lead time analysis report that you are creating.
- ID description
- Enter a description of the lead time ID.
- Details
- Set to YES if you want this report to contain detail level information. Set to NO if you want this report to contain summary level information. The detail level includes one line per item/warehouse level. The summary level includes one line per item.
- Lead time dev +/-
- This field allows you to exclude abnormal lead times. Enter the accepted deviation in working days between the calculated real lead times and the actual lead times in the Item/Supplier file. For example, if you enter 3, this means that order lines that have a real lead time greater than 3 days will not be calculated. Therefore, the higher the value the more order lines included in lead time analysis. If you leave this field blank, all order lines will be included.
Date intervals
In this section the date intervals 1-6 are displayed. All date fields are mandatory.
- Interval
- Enter the number of days in the first input field and then click OK to recalculate the date intervals directly on the panel. Alternatively, manually change each date 1-6. This allows you to decide the length of the periods backwards in time. The dates are used as selection on reception dates in the Purchase statistics file.
