Hi,
I need to define lead times that are quantity dependent (e.g. if I buy less than 100, the supplier will deliver from his stock and the lead time is 1 day, If I buy more than 100, the supplier will not drain his stock, but startup a production order, resulting in a lead time of 5 days). I have been able to set this up using a trade agreement with quantity dependent lines, each having their specific lead time). When I manually create a purchase order, the system will calculate the delivery date depending on the quantity entered (so 1 day if I buy less than 100, and 5 days if I buy more). On the item (ordersettings) I have a lead time of 3 days which is not considered as it uses the lead time from the agreement. So far so good... However, when I run the masterplanning, the generated planned orders show a lead time of 3 days (the one on the item) and does not consider the lead time on the agreement (it shoud have taken 5 days as the suggested qty is more than 100). My item has a main supplier, the agreement is defined for the specific item/supplier, just to be sure. I don't really understand why there is a discrepancy between the way the lead time is calculated during manual order entry and during masterplanning?
I appreciate any suggestions or clarifications !
