• Key Concepts: 
  Lead time is the amount of time it takes for a product to be manufactured or delivered from the moment an order is placed. In SAP Business One (SBO), lead time is used to calculate the expected delivery date of an item based on the current stock levels and the time it takes to manufacture or procure the item. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Lead time can be set up in SBO by going to Administration > Setup > Inventory > Item Groups. Here, you can set up lead times for each item group. This will allow you to calculate the expected delivery date of an item based on its lead time and current stock levels. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to keep lead times up-to-date in order to ensure accurate delivery dates. It is also important to consider any external factors that may affect lead times, such as supplier delays or seasonal demand.
