Delivery, Receive and Required Date
Delivery, Receive, and Required Date allows one to calculate the exact date of production beginning required to deliver the product to the customer on time.
Business Logic
Require, Delivery, and Receive data and Lead Times are connected and used on Manufacturing Orders and Sales Orders according to the following scheme:
The following data are being used for calculations:
- Required Date, Time – a moment on which production of Items from a specific Manufacturing Order has to be completed,
- Internal Lead Time* – a period needed to prepare production results for shipping (sorting, assembling, packing, moving from a production floor to a shipping area, etc.). Required Date and Time + Internal Lead Time = Delivery Date and Time,
- Delivery Date, Time – a moment of sending output out of the company. Delivery Date and Time + Receive Lead Time = Receive Date and Time,
- Receive Lead Time* – a period between sending the output and receiving it by Business Partner,
- Receive Date, Time – a moment of receiving the output by the Business Partner,
- Delivery Time Slot* – preferred Delivery Time of receiving the output by Business Partner, e.g., 5 pm.
* These values can be set up to calculate values of other dates.
