Brian,
If this situation is limited to certain parts only, you can always change the due date on the Purchase Order itself. The MRP logic will give you a default due date to have the material available just in time for the operation. However, you can change it as you require. You may want to increase the Leadtime in the Part Master or Vendor Master to Actual Vendor Lead time + 1 day (or the offset you need) for calculating the Order By date.

Subject: [Vantage] Material PO Due Dates
A question for the production scheduler's and material buyer's among
us.
When an operation that has material linked to it is scheduled, the
start date of the operation will default to be the due date on the
purchase order to buy the material, right. We want to find a way to
get the material here a day before the operation is scheduled to run,
because often times the material might arrive late in the day that it
is scheduled to used thereby pushing the operation start back by
several hours or more. The material is technically to us on time,
because we receive it the day that it is due, but sometimes it makes
a big difference if we recieve it at 10:00 AM versus 4:00 PM.
I asked Vantage support about it and they don't seem to have an
answer other than using Queue time on the workcenter to move the
start date of the operation forward a day. But that really isn't the
answer, it builds an extra day into the schedule, which we don't
need, and the Due date on the PO is still the same as the start date
on the operation.
Sounds like there should be a Queue time for material.
Any ideas? We are on 5.0 if that matters.
Thanks,
