Odoo also allows you to enter the number of days the delivery should be moved up in the settings window itself. This option is one of the unique features available in Odoo which will help you to make your business operations more credible and efficient.
Days to Purchase
In the case of this option, you can easily pre estimate and plan the time required for the vendor for confirming the purchase order and also the time needed for the completion of the successful delivery. Here also the purchase order validation duration can be mentioned in days from which date it will be ready after the purchase order creation.
Security Lead Time for Purchase
When the system generates a Purchase Order for reordering products, it will be scheduled many days earlier to handle unexpected vendor delays. This option is very useful for schedule receivings earlier to avoid delays.
