Routings Table

This table is only presented for manufactured items.

After having defined the routings, you must indicate for each item which routings it can use.

You may update a list of routings usable by item by adding or by deleting a routing in the list.

When you select Add…, the list of all the master routings is presented. When you select a routing in this list, it is automatically added to the item routings list. You can add a comment that specifies the use conditions of the routing.

You can then select, among the routings of the list, the routing to use for the manufacturing releases by clicking on the Release button. Its code is stored in the Item record.

You can delete a routing using the table’s Delete checkbox; however you can not delete a routing defined as a release routing.

You may not enter any routing revision. It is done during the order scheduling or during release, the system will choose the active revision routing according to the release date.

 The budget routing (and the revision) is updated by the Frozen Data Creation function.

 The BOM dropdown list contains the BOM Variant Table. It lets you select a BOM variant associated to each routing.

 The Backflushing dropdown list lets you control how are recorded the component issues for the open work orders. The principles of backflushing are described in the Component Issue section of the Production Reporting chapter.

 In the Priority Index field, you can enter a number (0-999) which will be automatically copied into the Planned order priority index field by the material requirements planning procedure; the planned orders are converted into firm orders and into open orders. They keep their priority index (which can be changed) which can be used for the Finite Capacity Scheduling.
