Hi,

The lead time is taken into account during MRP run for "PD" MRP Type.

Cheers,

Hello everyone,

I have a question concerning MRP type PD (MRP). Does SAP consider delivery lead time when it releases a procurement proposal for material?

For example, lets say that you have a material with delivery lead time = 2 weeks and safety stock set to 0. You have released sales & planned orders for, say 9 weeks in the schedule with the first 3 weeks frozen, and SAP calculates that, with today's production plan, you will reach a zero stock level in 6 weeks. Does it release a procurement proposal TODAY or in week 4 (because the lead time is 2 weeks)? If the latter case is true, is there a way to set a safety time so that it releases a procurement proposal in, for example, week 3?

Best Regards,
Ed
