Use this form to create or update production routes associated with the production order that you selected. When a production order is created, all route base data is automatically copied into the production route shown in this form. You can edit, insert, or delete lines without affecting the route information in the base data. Use the field to create the next operation.

This example lists the first operation as operation number 10 (weld), the next as operation number 20 (assemble), and the last as operation number 30 (pack). Each operation in the production route has an identifying number that identifies the tasks involved in manufacturing the item. The first operation is always represented by the lowest number ( ) in the sequence. The last operation is always represented by the value 0 (zero) in the field.
Note

|
If an item does not have a route in base data, the production route is blank. You can make changes to production routes only on orders up to and including those assigned the Startstatus. If your changes affect cost estimation or job scheduling, run the estimation and/or operations/job scheduling procedures again before proceeding. |

|
Displays operations in the selected that can be changed or updated. |
||
|
|
Define the operation number, which is an alphanumeric string of up to ten characters. The operation number defines the sequence for the operation that the production should go through. When you create a new production route, 10 is automatically suggested as the first operation number. Subsequent operation numbers will be suggested as having increments of 10. You can change them manually. If simultaneous operations are to be created, the operations must be created with the same operation number. Do this when several work centers are to be used simultaneously. The relationship between simultaneous operations is defined in . The next operation to be executed is defined in the field. If the operation is the last operation, is defined as zero. |
||
|
|
Priority is used in controlling simultaneous operations. Simultaneous operations are characterized by the fact that they appropriate several work centers at the same time. This is done by giving the same to all operations that are to be executed simultaneously. 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 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. This means that the times do not have to be specified for secondary operations. If there are no parallel operations for a , the operation should be created with the priority of primary. |
