Re: DRP Should Fulfill Demand Regardless

We call it transit time. (days by truck train air ship whatever)
405CD has a schedule date, which BPCS does not use, it is a reference date
in customer orders, for users to use however they please.
Release date is what MRP CAP DRP etc. use to schedule production and
materials.
Our users and managers have had an evolution of thinking how best to handle
transit time. Some use schedule date to show when we want or expect it to
arrive at customer facility.
I think there should be a field associated with ship-to file geography and
facility geography, to provide estimated transit time, because this is not
going to be consistent by item or customer.

Isn't there somewhere to plug in to allow this 4 weeks?
