Lead time

lead time exists in many different places in BC, it is very difficult to provide a simple answer. For example, you could define lead time on vendor, item card, location etc. BC handles different types of lead time based on setting. for example, if user set up a lead time on vendor card as 2 days, whenever user create a purchase order from that vendor, BC add 2 days lead time. If user add another lead time 3 days for a specific item sold by that vendor, BC will use 3 days instead of 2 for the order.

this is in no way comprehensive, but just a small example to illustrate.
