    RE: Lead Time on the Purchasing module , Has Anyone knew Idea about how can i use it ?

    I have one question .we are not using GP- Manufacturing. but we are using purchasing /sales/Inventory  module IN GP. The purchase lead time is also defined in item resource planning  and it creates the PO with the possible receipt date. but there is no calendar to define weekend /Holidays. so purchase order created from PO Generator in GP don't consider  weekend /holidays and as a result GP creates a po which shows the wrong possible require receipt date .

    Is there any way if I could make GP not consider weekends/holidays so that PO would show  the correct possible required date from this vendor

    Here is a great article that will give you detailed steps for using the PO Generator:

    http://www.dynamicsgpinsights.com/2012/02/16/automatically-generate-purchase-orders-in-microsoft-dynamics-gp/

    The Purchasing lead time is used with MRP in GP's Manufacturing module.  The PO Generator is a smaller scale version of MRP,, but it still takes the Purchasing Lead time into account when it selects the suggested Vendor.  Under the Vendor Selection option, if you choose 'Select Vendor with Shortest lead time', GP will make the determination on which Vendor to suggest based on the Purchasing Lead time for the item/site combination.
