Fields

Field

Description

The route number for the route version that is used. System-generated route numbers appear when route versions are created.

The descriptive name for the route version. This is specified when you create route versions and can be edited as needed.

Enter the site for the route version.

The date from which the route version is valid. This field is used to manage multiple route versions.

The last date for which the route version is valid.

Enter the minimum quantity that is valid for this route version. When generating orders, the Microsoft Dynamics AX automatically selects a route version that is based on minimum quantity and other criteria that you specify. If you leave the field blank, this route version is valid for all quantities.

Note Note

When selected, the current route version is approved. A route version must be approved before it is opened and used.

Define the operation number. The number can be an alphanumeric string of up to ten characters. The operation number defines the operation that the production should follow. When you create a new production route, 10 is automatically suggested as the first operation number. The numbers for successive operations are suggested in increments of 10. You can change them manually. If simultaneous operations are to be created, the operations must be created by using the same operation number. You would do this when several work centers, such as a machine and a tool, will be used at the same time.

The relationship between simultaneous operations is defined in the field. The next operation to be executed is defined in the field. If the operation in question is the last operation, the field is defined as zero.

The priority is used to control simultaneous operations. Simultaneous operations are characterized by the fact that they appropriate several work centers at the same time, such as a machine and a tool. You can do this by giving the same to all operations that are to be executed at the same time. The priority determines which operation is the primary one. The primary operation should be the operation loading the work center that is regarded as the bottleneck for simultaneous operations. A bottleneck work center is not defined in any special way in the system, because individual routes and productions determine which work centers form the bottleneck. A work center regarded as a bottleneck on one route, and therefore primary for simultaneous operations on that route, can be secondary on another route. If the operation is not primary, the times from the primary operation are used to schedule the secondary operation. Therefore, times do not have to be specified for secondary operations. If there are no parallel operations for an , the operation will be created and assigned primary priority.

Displays the operation in the production route that uses the or the attached . This lets you define a unique identification for the operation that will be included in the production route. You can select the operation from the list that displays all created operations.

You can also enter the operation manually. The system checks that the operation is created. Operations are maintained through the form.

Displays the next operation number in the route network. This shows which follows the current . The last in the route network is defined as 0 (zero).

This field lets you define the operation number. The number can be an alphanumeric string of up to ten characters. The operation number defines the sequence for the operation that the production should follow. When you create a new production route, 10 is automatically suggested as the first operation number. The following operation numbers are suggested in increments of 10. You can change them manually. If simultaneous operations are to be created, the operations must be created by using the same operation number. You would do this when several work centers, for example, a machine and a tool, will be used at the same time.

The relationship between simultaneous operations is defined in the field. The next operation to be executed is defined in the field. If the operation in question is the last operation, the is defined as zero.

Priority is used to control simultaneous operations. Simultaneous operations appropriate several work centers at the same time, for example, a machine and a tool. You can do this by giving the same to all operations that are to be executed at the same time. The priority determines which operation is the primary one. The primary operation should be the operation loading the work center that is regarded as the bottleneck for simultaneous operations. A bottleneck work center is not defined in any special way in the system, because individual routes and productions determine which work centers form the bottleneck. Therefore a work center regarded as a bottleneck on one route, and therefore defined as primary for simultaneous operations on that route, can be secondary on another route. If the operation is not primary, the times from the primary operation are used to schedule the secondary operation. Therefore times do not have to be specified for secondary operations. If there are no parallel operations for a , the operation will be created to have a primary priority.
