Security Lead Time Intro

This video introduces the concept of Security Lead Time in Odoo18, which acts as a buffer to prevent delays in customer deliveries or production schedules by scheduling activities earlier than strictly necessary.

• Understanding the Buffer: The video explains that Security Lead Time is a “safety margin” added to counteract unexpected delays from vendors or internal processing issues.
• Customer Delivery Protection: It highlights how adding lead time to sales ensures that the products are ready days before the actual committed delivery date, improving customer satisfaction.
• Impact on Planning: The video explains that when this is set, Odoo’s scheduler automatically moves up procurement and manufacturing activities to account for the extra days.
