Estimated delivery date and duration for receptions

What it does

When you create a reception note without a delivery date, LogisticsWMS now suggests one for you, based on how long that supplier has typically taken to deliver in the past. Reception notes and receptions also show an estimated duration, to help you plan the work ahead of time.

How the delivery date is calculated

• Each supplier's lead time is measured from its own deliveries: the typical number of days between the reception note's document date and the day goods are actually scanned in, looked at over the last 6 months.
• If a supplier doesn't have enough delivery history yet, the tenant-wide default lead time is used instead (15 days, unless your admin has changed it in Settings → Inbound).
• An administrator can also pin a fixed lead time override for a specific supplier, on the Delivery Point screen; this value is never touched by the automatic monthly recalculation.
• If you (or an integration) enter a delivery date yourself, that value is always kept; the system never overwrites a date you've set. If your date differs from what the system would have calculated, a small icon appears next to the field so you can see both.

Estimated duration

Reception notes and receptions show an estimated time next to each line and as a total, together with a small badge that tells you how confident the estimate is (for example, whether it's based on a live model or there isn't enough history yet).

Note: these are estimates to help you plan; they never block or delay the reception itself.

Setting a lead time override for a supplier

1. Open the supplier's Delivery Point profile.
2. Go to the Lead Time Override (days) field.
3. Enter the number of days you want to use for that supplier, or leave it empty to use the automatically measured value.
4. Select Save.
