Long lead-time items are parts with a long delivery time that need to be ordered, but of which you do not yet know the production file in which they will be used. This prevents a regular order to be created in Isah, but often there is no time to wait for the production file. To solve this problem, Isah provides the option of ordering these long lead-time items under a special production order for long lead-time items.

Run the Move long lead-time item process to move a part you have purchased to the production file for which it will actually be used. This is done when the work preparation of the actual production file has started, and its data are entered in Isah.

When moving the part calculation line, a new part calculation line is added to the target file. The relevant data are automatically copied from the calculation line of the long lead-time item. This means that the line for the long lead-time item may not exist in the target file yet.

Note: You need to move the long lead-time item before you register the receipt of the part ordered. If you fail to do so, the costs will be posted to the wrong production file.
