Products, suppliers, prices and case multiples are MSC's real range. Demand history, lead times and supplier terms are derived for the demo, deterministically, so the figures never move between screens. An asterisk on a lead time means the supplier record carries none and fourteen days was assumed, the same gap the audit found on about 19,900 SKUs. Signed in as Duncan Cusack.
