How do I add a buffer period to call for materials to be delvered sooner?

353 Views

I've have done some research on here and have read about the sched margin key and adding a float before production however I dont fully understand how this will impact material demand.

What I want to do is add a buffer period between when all the shortage parts on the BOM need to be delivered and the delivery date on the sales order (make-to-order). For exapmle:

My sales order is due to be despatched on the 01/01/2021, My in house production time is 1 day;31/12/2020 However, I want all of the shortages to be delivered 2 weeks before I plan to start; 17/12/2020.

How might I set this up in the material master?
