  Replenishment lead time is the time it takes for a material to be replenished after it has been consumed. It is a key factor in the Material Requirements Planning (MRP) process of SAP's Production Planning (PP) module. The replenishment lead time is used to calculate the safety stock and the net requirements of a material.

  The replenishment lead time can be set up in the material master record in the MRP view. It is important to note that the replenishment lead time should include all of the necessary steps for replenishing the material, such as ordering, receiving, and stocking.
