> Synthesis of P&I Leadtimes extracted from SAP
P&I Lead Times | Level Required | Proposed SAP Field | Purpose in SAP | SAP Level | Comment |
Catalog LT | Material / Plant | Dedicated new field | Catalog Lead Time from “Order Entry Date” until “Material Availability date | Material / Plant Working days | See dedicated section here CEM control : Order Date - Material Availability Date >= Catalog Lead Time (Taking into account the SAP plant calendar) |
Plant Replenishment LT | Material / Plant | Total Replenishment Lead Time (TRLT). In SAP technical name is MARC-MZEIT | According to the ATP check code assigned to the material, the sales order confirmation can be done based on this data | Material / Plant Workdays | Proposal : this SAP field will contain the SHS RLT calculated in the P&I DynaSys solution. If no availability found at the requested date, the availability date in sales order is automatically confirmed at today + TRLT (only if the ATP key is set to consider the TRLT) : Usually activated for MTO products. |
Production LT | Material / Plant | 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 Workdays | See dedicated section here |
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 Workdays | |
Administrative Scheduling LT | Material / Plant | No SAP equivalent | - | Material / Plant Workdays | No field in SAP available. Will be manually defined in DynaSys, more info in detailed section here. |
> 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.
Inter/Intra Company Scheduling:
- Planning time fence at receiving plant to be consistent with stockholding strategy and replenishment LT
