Vendor Lead Time - From Vendor Master Record Rather than Average

Hi all,

Working on activating Inventory Replenishment for my company. Currently, the Moving Average method causes the Calculate Replenishment Parameters to calculate lead times based off of PO Receipt lines. Which is fine, however, typically, our initial PO will have a much shorter lead time as it’s coming from local stock with subsequent orders having longer lead times due to manufacturing, etc…

My question is: Is there a way to override the setting so that Acumatica uses the Vendor Lead Time that we put in the item’s vendor tab line under the Stock Items screen? This would be ideal versus it calculating off the average lead times from past PO receipts.

Ultimately, the system will “catch up” as more POs come through, but it would be nicer if we could just tell it to use the lead time in the item’s vendor line.

Thanks

Joseph

Hi, 

From what I know, there is no such setting. However, you can increase the service-level for now and that will increase the safety stock and reorder point to factor in the real lead time.

Once the lead time calculated is near the one you set, you can decrease the service level.
