Transport Time

Here you enter the transport time (T-time) for this supplier. The transport is entered in work days.

Please note that transport time does not affect subcontract purchase.

If you enter a transport time for the supplier, the system will deduct that number of work days from the delivery period entered during order registration before it is printed on the purchase order form. A text appears under Delivery method on the purchase order saying "Delivery period = shipped your warehouse (T-time X days)". If no transport time is entered (empty field), the delivery period entered during the order registration will appear on the purchase order forms. The text that appears under Delivery method on the purchase order will then say "Delivery period = arrival our warehouse".

These texts used as clarifications for delivery periods on the purchase order forms can be updated on rows 152-153 in the table in the Languages procedure in the Global Settings module. If these texts should not be printed at all, you can delete them there in that table.

You can also change the transport time per order under the Rows tab in the Register Purchase Order procedure, if for example the delivery method has changed for an order.

Please note that the transport time is loaded from the General calendar, which means that if it for example concerns a transport by boat which takes several weeks, then the non-working days should be deducted. That is, you should write a lower number of days and then MONITOR will add the non-working days to make it the correct number of days in the planning. The transport time should be included in the lead time.

Example: For a transport by boat that will take three weeks (21 days) you should enter 15 days as transport time and MONITOR will then add 6 non-working days.
