Routing #:

Obligatory field.

Revision Id:

 Obligatory field (2 numerical characters).

If the routing code and the revision number exist, data is displayed.

Approved:

 Specifies if the routing can be used as a manufacturing routing. This box must be checked to specify that the engineering department has approved the routing. If not warning messages will be issued by the MRP function if the release routing of the items are not approved.

Description:

Optional field.

Start Date:

 Specifies the validity start date of a routing revision. The validity end date is automatically set by the start date of the next revision if exists.

Standard Batch:

  The standard batch size is used to calculate the standard cost of the routing. It lets you determine the standard fixed costs corresponding to the setups times to distribute over the manufacturing cost of one unit.

The setup costs for every item are therefore distributed as a standard and using the routings. This data is only used for the cost price calculation.

Transfer Batch:

 Minimal part batch size to transfer from one operation to the next.

It lets you compute the required number of containers to handle a work order (displayed on the Work order window).

The transfer batch size is used by the scheduling modules for the potential overlapping of the operations between machines.

Safety lead time:

 This field is displayed only if the “Lead time calculated from routing” is set on the Planning tab of the Preference window. See explanations in the “Lead time calculated from routing” paragraph in the Production Planning chapter.

Decimals:

 Specifies the number of decimals to be used when calculating and displaying the routing costs.

Comment:

Free comment.

Duplicate

This keeps the displayed data and the routing operations and lets you enter a new routing code and/or a new revision number.

Operation

Displays the Routing Operation Maintenance window.

Usages

Displays the routing employment list, which is the list of the items susceptible to use this routing.

Graph

This button shows a graph of relations between the operations of the routing. If it is a network routing, its caption is underlined.

Costs

 Displays the routing costs window. These costs are equal to the sum of the corresponding costs of the operations corrected by the standard rejects value. They are calculated by the routing costs calculation function.

Routing Cost Profile

 Displays the standard cost table of the routing operations by type of cost. This table is described in the “Routing cost calculation” section of the Cost Accounting chapter.

Setup Lab.:

 Total labor time for machine setup.

Labor/unit:

 Total direct labor time to manufacture a part.

Labor/batch:

 Total direct labor time to manufacture a standard batch of parts.

Setups:

Total duration of all the setups of the routing machines.

Mfg./unit:

Total machine time to manufacture a part.

Mfg./bat:

 Total machine time to manufacture a standard batch of parts.

Transfer:

Total transfer time of the parts between the work centers.

Lead Time:

Sub-contr.:

 Total number of days of the sub-contracting operations.
