Lead Time
Lead time refers to the total time required from placing an order to completing its full process, including order processing, production, waiting, and transportation.The Lead Time feature in PrismERP is used to define and manage these time durations for different vendors and purchase types. Users can set multiple lead times for different vendors, including details like processing time, production time, and transportation modes such as sea, air, or truck. One vendor can also be marked as the default for primary use in planning.Once configured, lead time details are visible in the Product Details tab. To add lead time, users need to go to the Product Master and open the product list. From the Product Details page, they can add and manage lead time information for each product.
