PO Lead Time cannot capture the time taken for shipping!

99 Views

Dear All

I understand that we have PO lead time = PO Processing Time (Working Day) + Planned Delivery Time (Calendar Day) + GR processing time (working day).

And this PO lead time will be added on top of my PO Creation Date to defer the actual goods availability date.

My question:

1. Planned delivery time is the time taken from vendor place to send out the goods to my warehouse. What if it is overseas purchase where goods leaving vendor's Port will first arrive in my country custom, and it will take 3 days to do clearance. once it is cleared, forwarding agent will delivery goods from my country custom to my warehouse. In this case, how do I capture it in SAP system for the planned delivery time as it has 4 periods of time now

a. Time taken from vendor's port to reach my country's port

b. Time taken for my country custom to do clearing

c. Time taken for forwarding agent to fetch goods from custom to my warehouse

d. Time taken for unpack, take out , count, inspect and put for use (GR processing time)

Do I need to use user Exit?

Thanks
