Subcontract Purchase Order

Looking for some help. How are need dates calculated for the lower level material that is to be shipped to a vendor when the material as a lead time off set assigned.

Generally with no offset the need date is calculated based on the delivery date minus the product lead time. But if a part has an offset assigned how is the need date calculated?

Thanks

I use Lead Time Offset for my subcontracting purchase orders so that the material is required to be available before the date the purchase order is shipped to the vendor.

I have -7 in the BOM (CS02) for each component.  This ensures the requirement date of the component is 7 working days (per the plant factory calendar) prior to the Release Date which is when the material is expected to be shipped to our vendor.
