  A shipping calendar is a tool used in SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM) and Integrated Business Planning (IBP) to manage the delivery of goods. It allows users to define the delivery dates for each product, as well as the lead times for each product. The shipping calendar also allows users to set up rules for when orders should be shipped, and when they should be delivered.

This can be done by entering the desired lead time in the “Lead Time” field.
