Changing leadtime in Purchasing

Posted on by FabianIBK

Hello all

I am currently trying to find a way to deal with the following requirement:

A company negotiates with a supplier that they will purchase 1000 pcs. For first order, there is a leadtime of e.g. 100 days. After the 100 days are over, the leadtime is only 25 days as the supplier will take all required raw materials on stock with the first order - therefore leadtime can be reduced for further purchase orders.

The challenges I am facing at the moment:

Is there any way if setting up such a scenario in the system?
I thought about timely limited trade agreements, but there is no linkage to a total quantity?
How to consider all this scenario during master planning?

Does anyone of you had similar requirements and can share a smart way how to solve this? Also a customization would be of interest, but I am not sure how fare we get here as it is quite close to Master planning (and we do not want to customize something here ;) ).

Thank you for any kind of feedback!

Regards

Fabian

Interesting requirement and I was going to suggest using Purchase Agreement but then I realized that leadtimes are still driven by the product.

I think the cleanest way is to do this manually and keep updated the leadtimes based on the vendor input.

As this is essentialy a one-off leadtime of 100 which then becomes something else it makes sense to run 2 updates on the ERP system based on the supplier input.

Hi,

you can use Trade agreement journals and change the lead time.
