Vendor Delivery Day

Posted on by Teresa Babel

We have several local vendors that are open throughout the week, but they only make deliveries on specific days - for example, they only deliver on Friday's. When creating a vendor calendar, the only option is to specify their working days. If you set this to Friday's only, the lead time will assume the vendor only works 1 day a week. So, a lead time of 15-days turns into 15 weeks. We are looking for the ability to specify vendor delivery date so a 15-day lead time would set the delivery date to the next Friday after 15 working days (about 3 weeks). Does anyone know how to set BC up to make this work?

agree with Yun that lead days only account for work day and non work day. It doesn't care about on what day the delivery would be made. A customization seems to be a sound option to consider.

It looks like it can only be customized because only delivery date is Friday, but the shipping date can be any weekday.

So this needs to be customized so that if it is not Friday, the next Friday will be automatically picked up.

Hopefully other experts can give you better advice.

Thanks.
