Field

Description

Line Buy Order Cycle

Displays the current order cycle calculated for the buy line when you run a Suggested P/O.  You can force an order cycle by entering "days supply" as the vendor target in the Target Unit field. For more information, see How the Minimum Order Cycle Works.

Target

The amount of product the vendor identifies as the minimum amount you can buy. Vendor targets are measured in pieces, pounds, dollars, or load factors according to the parameters set. For more information, see Specifying the Vendor Target for Buy Lines.

Default Lead Time

The number of days it takes a vendor to supply stock, from the date of a submitted purchase order to the date of received shipment from the date of the purchase order to the receipt date. For more information, see Entering Lead Time Information for Buy Lines.

Override Lead Time

Parameter you set to supersede the product or buy line lead time. Used with super buy lines. For more information, see Entering Lead Time Information for Buy Lines.

Minimum Order Cycle

The order cycle is the normal number of days between your purchasing. The amount of days in an order cycle is based on the order point, plus the lead time, plus the time to get to the vendor target. Each product has its own order cycle. For more information, see How the Minimum Order Cycle Works.

Default Lead Factor

The number of most-recent stock receipts that the system should examine to calculate the median lead time for the buy line. For more information, see How the System Calculates Lead Time.

Use the Override Lead Time field to supersede the product's lead time. For more information, see Entering Lead Time Information for Buy Lines.
