For all scheduled time elements, which are less than the standard workday, the system will compute the lead time day by dividing the lead time element by 24. The standard workday is defined in the workday calendar. Oracle Manufacturing stores the following lead time information for each item:

Preprocessing Lead Time:
A component of total lead time that represents the time required to release a purchase order or create a job from the time you learn of the requirement. You can manually enter preprocessing lead time for both manufactured and purchased items.

Processing Lead Time:
The time required to procure or manufacture an item. You can compute processing lead time for a manufactured item, or manually assign a value. Processing lead time is computed as the time as total integer days required to manufacture 1 lead time lot size of an item. You must manually assign a processing lead time for purchased items. Processing lead time does not include preprocessing and postprocessing lead times.

Post Processing Lead Time:
A component of total lead time that represents the time to make a purchased item available in inventory from the time you receive it. Manually enter postprocessing lead time for each purchased item. Postprocessing lead time for manufactured items is not recognized.

Cumulative Manufacturing Lead Time:
The total time required to make an item if you had all raw materials in stock but had to make all subassemblies level by level. Oracle Bills of Material automatically calculates this value, or you can manually assign a value.

Fixed Lead Time:
The portion of manufacturing lead time that is independent of order quantity. You can enter this factor manually for an item, or compute it automatically for manufactured items.

Variable Lead Time:
The portion of manufacturing lead time that is dependent on order quantity. You can enter this factor manually for an item, or compute it automatically for manufactured items.

Cumulative Total Lead Time:
The total time required to make an item if no inventory existed and you had to order all the raw materials and make all subassemblies level by level. Bills of Material automatically calculates this value, or you can manually assign a value.

Total Lead Time:
The fixed lead time plus the variable lead time multiplied by the order quantity. The planning process uses the total lead time for an item in its scheduling logic to calculate order start dates from order due dates.

Lead Time Lot Size:
The quantity you use to calculate manufacturing lead times. You can specify an item's lead time lot size to be different from the standard lot size.

Dynamic Lead Time Offsetting:
A scheduling method that quickly estimates the start date of an order, operation, or resource. Dynamic lead time offsetting schedules using the organization workday calendar.
