Hi:
For the first time, I tested the use of the "Safety Lead Time" field in the Item Card.
I was able to successfully do so, but I had to change the "Work Date" field in My Settings to be a future date -- 10/15/2024.
For this one item, I was using the "Order" Reordering Policy and 1M for the "Safety Lead Time" field.
The Sales Order Order Date was 10/15/2024. Since the "Work Date" field was also 10/15/2024, the Purchase Order's Received Request Date for the line item was 09/15/2024.
Again, this is a successful test.
But, during my first unsuccessful test, the "Work Date" field in My Settings was 09/06/2024. During that test, the Received Request Date was 08/07/2024.
Creating a Purchase Order in the past, from a business standpoint, wouldn't make much sense. That's why I had to change the "Work Date" field to a future date, to get a successful test.
Why would the "Safety Lead Time" field make me use a future date?
Thanks!
John
