Cumulative lead time not including purchased material lead time

I have a manufactured part that contains a purchased material with a lead time of 60 days. When the lead time calculation is executed, it results in the manufacturing lead time of 30 days (receive time + mfg time). I have read the MRP tech. ref. and it shows in an example that purchase lead times should be included. I also have the correct settings checked for include in LT calc in plant setup. Has anyone had experience with this issue?

Do you have the Advanced Production Scheduling module? I don’t know if that would affect this, but I do know that the Constrained Materials feature won’t work without it, so MRP won’t forward schedule considering material purchase times without it; maybe they’re connected (as they should be).

I don’t understand how this field can be useful. It must calaculate the lead time to produce one part - right? How is that helpful?
