Waiting days in SAP Business One, denote the number of days scheduled between two process steps – for example, between goods receipt and quality release, or between production and dispatch.
Areas of application
- Payments Waiting days between invoice date and payment release for internal audits
- Production: Waiting times between manufacturing steps, e.g. for drying or curing
- Goods receipt Days for quality control before storage
Use in SAP Business One
Waiting days are factored into scheduling and influence lead times, delivery dates, and capacity planning. They help to create realistic schedules and avoid bottlenecks caused by over-optimistic planning.
Practical tip
Capture waiting days separately from productive processing times to specifically identify and reduce non-value-adding times during process optimisation.
