Mfg. process lead time

Specify the lead time (days required for completing this manufacturing process). The due date of each process will be determined based on the value set to this field. If omitted, this field will be calculated by the [Quantity] / [Mfg. capacity (per day)] - 1. (The reason why subtracting 1 is because that the safety lead time is always considered as 0 for any manufacturing processes. In other words, it is assumed that the due date of the previous manufacturing process always overlaps with the date on which the next manufacturing process starts. Please note that this is different from [Lead time] in the MRP calculation tab.
