Hi there,

Lead time is the time in which the material will be available. It is called Replenishment lead time RLT. It is maintained in MRP view of material master. RLT can either be inhouse processing time for inhouse manufactured goods or order time + goods receipt processing time for externally procured goods.

Whereas time mentioned in route is used to calculate transit time during delivery scheduling. That is the time taken for the goods to reach customer from shipping point.

Both the times are imp for delivery scheduling.

When the customer places an order, if the material is not available, then the system will take end of RLT as material availability date. From that date, it will carry forward scheduling & propose a new confirmed delivery date.
