A company uses Dynamics 365 Business Central.

On the Vendor Card, the field Lead Time Calculation defines how long it usually takes the vendor to deliver items. If a vendor delivers items within one week after the company orders them, you must configure this field with 1W.

Lead Time Calculation = drives expected receipt dates, planning dates, and automatically updates order promising in purchase orders.

Shipment Method Code = describes the mode of transport (e.g., train, ship, air) but does not control dates.

Location Code = default receiving location; irrelevant to the timing.

Base Calendar Code = defines working days/holidays for date calculation adjustments, but not the actual delivery duration.

Thus, to ensure delivery date calculations reflect the vendor’s one-week lead time, Lead Time Calculation is the correct field.
