To override the buy line lead times:Normally, the system uses a median calculation to determine the lead time for products. For more information, see How the System Calculates Lead Time.
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 screen to adjust the lead time and enter an expiration date. The override is in effect until the expiration date is met.
To override the buy line lead times:
From Purch > Maintenance menu, select Buy Line Maintenance to display the Buy Line Maintenance screen.
In the Buy Line ID field, enter the buy line whose lead times you want to override.
Use the Lead Time hot key to display the Override Lead Time Maintenance screen.
Place the cursor on the Br / Terr that you need to change. Use ALL if the change affects all branches.
In the Ovrd LT Days field, enter the number of lead time days you want to use.
In the Ovrd LT Expiration Dt field, enter the date that the lead time you have entered expires.
Press Esc to save your changes and return to the Buy Line Maintenance screen.
