Leadtime

Lead time is the standard delivery time from supplier, measured in days. The lead time registered in RamBase is only for information purposes. You can enter or edit the lead time both on Products (ART) and the specific Suppliers (SUP) for the product in question.

Changing lead time on a product
  1. To open the Product (ART) application, find Product in the RamBase menu and then Product management. Click Products to enter the ART application.

  2. Highlight the ART for which you want to edit the lead time and press ENTER.

  3. Enter the Purchase folder and find the field called StdLeadTime (standard lead time). Enter the lead time as number of days.

    • You can also perform this action in the Main Data folder by using the magnifying glass icon next to the leadtime field.

Changing lead time on specific suppliers
  1. To open the Product (ART) application, find Product in the RamBase menu and then Product management. Click Products to enter the ART application.

  2. Highlight the ART you want to change lead time for a specific supplier, and press ENTER.

  3. Enter the Supplier Info folder. Click the Create ARTSUP icon on the bottom to add a new supplier.

  4. Enter the information needed as you would normally when adding a new supplier. The field SupLeadtime controls the leadtime for the product from this supplier. Enter the supplier lead time as number of days.

The lead time shown in the Purchase (PUR) application will always show the standard lead time (StdLeadtime). To find the lead time of specific suppliers, you will need to enter the product and look into the Supplier Info folder.
