This gets updated when you purge closed orders under PO, Processes.
This field should not normally be available except for viewing/reporting only. If you can manually change this field, you need to consider turning "lock protected fields" to "on" in A/P Setup.

We know what triggers the update. We need to know what variables are considered. Does it look at the last 4 purchase orders to get the average or the last 8? What formula does Macola use to come up with this average? What do you do when one purchase order for a particular item took 20 days to receive when it normally takes 4 days? Please advise.
The exact algorithm for determining this is not documented anywhere that I know of. You could probably find out by making a support call.
