UPDATE

Updates the item site lead times, using the specified parameters. Item sites are updated in item type and bill of material (BOM) level sequence so that the lead times of lower level items are calculated before the lead times of dependent items.

The following formulas describe how lead times for different item types are handled:

  • Manufactured Items: The utility first scans the BOM for the item and finds the component item having the longest lead time. It then scans the routing for the item and finds the operation having the latest execution day. Finally it performs the following calculation:

    Longest Component Item Lead Time + Latest Execution Day + Pad Days = New Item Site Lead Time

  • Purchased Items (with Item Source): The utility scans any item sources and finds the longest lead time. Then if performs the following calculation:

    Longest Item Source Lead Time + Pad Days = New Item Site Lead Time

  • All Others: The utility does the following calculation:

    Pad Days = New Item Site Lead Time
