This Catalog LT:

Starts from “Order Entry Date” (=date of creation of Sales Order in SAP, does not take the date PO date of the customer)
Runs until the goods are available in the warehouse and ready to be picked
Covers the time for manufacturing the goods or not (MTO vs MTS)
Its determination is mainly driven by the choice of Archetype (Cfr Archetype Playbook)
Plays a major role in setting SHS/Stock-Holding-Strategy

The Catalog LT, besides being used for P&I in DynaSys, is also used to determine the Customer Lead Time (CULT):

The Customer Leadtime is not part of P&I in DynaSys scope, it's put here below as a reference of what happens once we define the "Catalog Lead Time" at Material Availability date.
