Looking at the transcription, I’ll correct errors like “transfer method” → “Transport Method”, “C” → “ship/sea”, “trained” → “train”, “on seated bike” → “unicycle/seated bike”, and “windows” → “vendors”.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central lets you add a transport method to your purchasing setup so you get more precise lead times on items and vendors. You set up transport methods such as airplane, ship, truck, or train, and you assign them to each vendor or item. This helps the system calculate realistic delivery times based on how goods actually arrive.
You manage transport methods from the Transport Method page, where you can create as many as you need. Once they are set up, you assign them to vendors or items to improve lead time accuracy in your purchase and inventory planning.
What the transport method does in Business Central
In the purchase and inventory management area, you can now work with a transport method. The purpose is straightforward: by recording how your goods are shipped, you get a more precise lead time on your purchases.
You put the transport method on each vendor or on the individual items. This means the system knows whether something arrives by air, sea, or road, and it can factor that into the expected delivery time.
How to set up transport methods
If you want to add more transport methods, go to the Transport Method page. Here you can see examples such as airplane, ship, and truck already set up. You can add others as well, for instance train.
There is no limit to how many transport methods you can create. You set up as many as you like to match the way your goods actually move.
Assigning the transport method to vendors and items
Once your transport methods are in place, the next step is to put them to use. You assign a transport method to your vendors or to your items.
This is what makes the lead time calculation work. By linking the right transport method to each vendor or item, you give the system the information it needs to estimate delivery times more accurately.
