This enhancement request relates to the Buyer's Workbench and new PO
suggestions. If your lead-time is 10 days and your buyers buy
directly from the workbench by the simplest method the material will
come in on the day it is required. (Some time that day, probably
after you already needed it)
This enhancement request would allow you to decide how many days
early you would want a shipment and automatically make that the due
date in Buyer's Workbench.
You could probably achieve the same result by modifying lead-times
and manually changing the due date for every PO, but that is time
consuming and a bit confusing.
If you think this sounds like something you would like to see in
Vantage, please call support and add your company to the list.
Thanks,
