- For example, Chinese New Year, or an earthquake in Taiwan, or extended holidays in the country of manufacture of your product
- Useful in case the Restock Lead Time is the result of complex calculations. Rather than overriding the Restock Lead Time in those exceptional circumstances and then forget what the normal lead time was, causing you to recalculate the lead time anew, just enter an additional number of days in this field during the exceptional period. When the exceptional period is over, just remove the value in this field.
