We have the following scenario:

- a large number of products (i.e. more than 1 million active products);
- there is a need to make distinguish between different purchase ordering modes (urgent/standard/etc.)
as the purchase lead time is varying based on the purchase order mode of delivery;
- the demand type (mainly sales) can be urgent or standard and we are committed to our customers to respect certain lead times about delivering the goods if it is ordered in a given mode
(urgent should be delivered very fast to the customers, there are some days also applicable);
- there is a need to define a plan for urgent demand and a plan for the standard demand and have them ordered afterwards towards the suppliers;

To be able to cover this scenario, per supplier we need to have multiple purchase order lead time per product per order type (in our case mode of delivery).
Or at least one central place where we can change the value without the need to have to change this value for all products.

One existing workaround for this is to change the current available settings related to the lead time for all products, but that takes a very long time (about 30 minutes). While we do not have from business point of view that much time to spent on switching the values.
