> 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 Besides P&I, also used in 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 | TRLT is used: > definition of TRLT horizon in MD04 (Planning) | Material / Plant Workdays | Proposal : this SAP field will contain the SHS RLT calculated in the P&I DynaSys solution. |
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) | The Processing time from 'Work scheduling view' is used by the MRP -> Scheduling activities. The 'Inhouse production time' in MRP view is not used by MRP, it's just an information of lead time needed for production. | Material / Plant Workdays | See dedicated section here |
Procurement LT | Material / Plant | SAP Processing time for purchasing (Workdays) | Time (Plant workdays) that the purchasing department requires to convert a purchase requisition into a purchase order. | Plant x workdays | |
Material / Plant | SAP Planned delivery time (Calendar days) | Number of calendar days needed to obtain the material or service if it is procured externally. It's used by the MRP are used to manage the flows between plants and warehouses. | Material / Plant Calendar days 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
