Although a Procurement Lead Time is maintained under the Planning tab in the product master data, when creating purchase request from Purchase Requests and Orders work center, the Planned Order Date and Planned Delivery Date are not as expected considering the maintained procurement lead time.
Environment

- Open the master data of product XYZ (XYZ represents ID).

- Go to Purchase Requests and Orders work center, Purchase Requests view.
