Sage 50 Accounts Professional - Stock Lead times

[billswan]

Hi

Any suggestions about recording stock lead times?

Can Sage 50 Pro do it or will an addon be needed?

Thanks

You could work out the lead times by looking for GI transactions in Stock_Tran and comparing the date they were received to the date they were ordered on the PO.

Not sure what you would then do with that.

If you are building a model of stock requirements then, that is very dependant on the business, seasonality, back orders, transient demand. This infers you will be building it in Excel, in which case you could use the stock transactions to calculate sales from previous periods in order to base a projection, as well as calculating the lead time.

Thank You for replying.

We know when lead times are.

There are some stock items that have 12 weeks lead time, some 4 weeks and others with various times.

Just trying to look at where can record when stock would be due in.

We did see a ' Due Date ' when clicking a line item but it does not show the date ? Initial test we thought it was due to multiple items so we created a single item in a PO and due date is still not showing?

The date on the purchase order is an 2 places.

There is one on the order and then multiple ones for each item.

Which you use depends on when the goods will be delivered. The whole order or in parts.

Note there are DUE_DATE and an DELIVERY_DATE which are easy to confuse.
