How is everyone handling the reserving of inventory on orders that are
not due for some months and the items on the order have widely varying
lead times? Are you using Future orders, JIT, entering separate orders
based on groups of common lead times? What about vendors like Kohler
that have unreliable lead times that often change? Do you attempt to
keep those accurate in the database? Has anyone done some custom work
in these areas and if so, exactly what?
We don't seem to be able to get this right and I'd like to hear if
anyone has managed to solve this problem.
Thanks,
Al
