Lead Time to Promised Ship Date

The value in this field defines the default number of days after entry of a customer sales order that an order is normally shipped.  It represents the amount of time typically required to package and prepare the shipment, assuming that the ordered items are already in inventory.  (Manufacturing lead time is defined on the Part Master File for each item.) The lead time to promised ship date is used in the Sales Order Maintenance conversation to determine the default promised ship date for the order.  Promised ship dates for transfer orders are calculated using the Transfer Order Lead time defined between two company/warehouse combinations on Reference File category D17.
