The Expected Time of Arrival (ETA) date for back-ordered parts is calculated and re-calculated based upon the Point-of-Sale WIP order type and user defined days, within the following Aftersales functions
Point-of-Sale - Creating a Point-of-Sale WIP line
Purchase Control - Generating order data
Purchase Control - Importing confirmation order data
Lead times are defined within Parts lead time in Pont-of-Sale parameters and relate to the time in days that is needed to supply a part when stock is available for the Point-of-Sales order type.
Besides the parts lead time in Point-of-Sale, the lead time the supplier lead time in purchase control is also used.
Within the Supplier File you can set up the lead time per Supplier and Order type.
What do you want to do?
This form is displayed when you click Manufacturer systems (Module) and MB. Mercedes-Benz (Company) > Menu - Utilities > Mercedes-Benz parameters and you browse to Parts > + Parts lead time in Pont-of-Sale > [no. Company name] on the Project parameters browser. It defines the Lead time for calculating Parts expected delivery dates in POS.
Field:
Recalculate date required: Select to calculate the date required on the Point-of_Sale WIP line based on the selected order type.
Note: Clear this parameter if you want to use the Autoline defaults for calculating lead times.
Grid:
Order status: Displays the available Point-of-Sales order statues as defined within POS parameters > Statemap.
Lead time: Enter the required lead time recalculation value in days
Note: Entering a lead time of 0 days will delete the lead time record and the Lead time is displayed as Not set.
The date required on the WIP line is recalculated on the moment the WIP line is created and if the status is changed.
To calculate with order type S:
Date required = 14-09-2009
POS lead time for order type S (Stock B/O) = 4 days
Supplier lead time for order type S (Stock B/O) = 3 days
Date Required = 14-09-2009 + POS lead time (Order type / days) + Supplier lead time (Order type)
= 14=09-2009 + 4 + 3 = 21-09-2009
Note: The calculation of the date required is based on the date when the order status is set and not on the date that the WIP line is created.
To change order type to V:
Date required = 14-09-2009
POS lead time for order type V (VOR B/O) = 2 days
Supplier lead time for order type V (VOR B/O) = 3 days
Date Required = 14-09-2009 + POS lead time (Order type / days) + Supplier lead time (Order type)
= 14=09-2009 + 2 + 3 = 19-09-2009
When the order type on an existing WIP line (line appears already in the product grid of the WIP) is changed and the recalculated date is different from the current date required is a message is displayed.
Selecting the Cancel button will avoid that the date required on the WIP line is overwritten with the new calculated date. Selecting the OK button will update the date required.
The lead time on the corresponding purchase transaction line is calculated on the moment of creating the WIP.
To calculate with order type S:
Date required = 14-09-2009
Supplier lead time for order type S (Stock B/O) = 3
Date required = 14-09-2007 + Supplier lead time
= 14-09-2007 + 3 = 17-09-2007
Note: The date required on the purchase transaction line is recalculated on the moment that the line is connected to a purchase order. The date when the line is connected to the order + the supplier lead time will be the new date required.
The same calculations apply to the parts lines created with the ISO order import, IDIS order import and the EPC interface.
The confirmation order data program will import the ETA (Expected Time of Arrival) date and update the date required on the corresponding purchase transaction line and WIP line.
The ETA date can be provided on a ‘Back order’ or a ‘BO - ETA update’ record. An ‘BO - ETA update’ record is a subsequent backorder record for the same order line. The ETA update record is always processed automatically on import while a normal backorder record is only automatically processed on the moment the automatic processing parameter in the confirmation order parameters is set.
To calculate with confirmation order type GLC, RLC and EKOS:
The received ETA date is not including the time needed for transportation from the warehouse to the dealer. For that reason is the supplier lead time added to the received ETA date.
ETA date = 23-09-2007
POS Lead Time = 4 days
Supplier lead time = 5 days
Date required on purchase transaction = ETA date + Supplier lead time
= 23-09-2007 + 5 = 28-09-2007
Date required on WIP line = ETA date + Supplier lead time + POS lead time
= 23-09-2007 + 5 + 4 = 2-10-2007
To calculate with confirmation order type XML1 and XML2:
The ETA date here is already including the supplier lead time what makes the calculation different.
ETA date = 23-09-2007
POS Lead Time = 4 days
Supplier lead time = 5 days
Date required on purchase transaction = ETA date
= 23-09-2007
Date required on WIP line = ETA date + POS lead time
= 23-09-2007 + 4 = 25-09-2007
