Routes are essential to the production part of Microsoft Dynamics AX. A route is a set of operations, or tasks, required for producing an item, their sequence, the work centers involved, and the standard times to set up and run the operations. An operation specifies the tasks involved in manufacturing an item, with the detail necessary to efficiently schedule production.
