report based on expected lead time

[rslin]

The Vendor Scorecard Performance Report data is based on dates entered in the PO (dates provided by the vendor to us at the time we cut the PO or even months after the PO is cut-this date can change) as opposed to our expected lead time (lead time promised by the vendor in general). Keep in mind that we always put the vendor's advised date in the PO so that our back-order reports have the correct ETA info. Currently, the report will show the vendor as having an almost perfect record because our expected receipt date is based on the vendor's production schedule (whether it is within our expected lead time or not).
<b>
We need some kind of indicator in the vendor set up which tells the system that the expected delivery date is "out of tolerance".</b> Is there any way to achieve this and have the report based on expected lead time as opposed to PO dates?
