Work scheduling view : Processing time (MARC-BEARZ) + Base quantity (MARC-BASMG) 

or if not filled-in

MRP view or Work scheduling view  : Inhouse production time (MARC-DZEIT)

Use by the MRP -> Scheduling activities

Material / Plant

Procurement LT

Material / Plant

SAP Processing time for purchasing (Workdays)


Specifies the time needed to process the material in the operations at the different work centers.

The processing time depends on the base quantity (Batch size)

Material master data - Work Scheduling view


Material / Plant

SAP Planned delivery time (Calendar days) 

Number of calendar days needed to obtain the material or service if it is procured externally.

Could be maintained at different place:

- Purchase info Record

- MRP2 view

Attention : this Pld Delivery time (both in MRP2 view or PIR) should only consider transit time => the transit time will be used to back calculate the correct Production & Good issue date in shipping site on SAP.

See dedicated section here

GR Processing LT

Material / Plant

GR processing time (MARC-WEBAZ)

Number of workdays required after receiving the material for inspection and placement into storage.

Material / Plant

> P&I methodology Lead times (Macro view)



> SAP Lead times summary (detailed view)


P&I solution takes the Lead times coming from SAP until the Material Availability Date.

All that happens afterward (Loading + Pick Pack + Transit time to customer), in gray below, is not part of DynaSys P&I scope and is carried outside the tool.


> SAP Lead times transferred to P&I



Key information to be taken into account:


Production Scheduling: No information in SAP related to the Scheduling LT -> Will be defined in the P&I solution.

It's considered in SHS RLT calculation but not like an 'addition'. More information in 'Scheduling LT' part.
