Contents of the Manage Routings Screen
Use the fields and options to configure the Manage Routings screen.
Identification
Use the fields in this block to create a new Part ID or to retrieve a previously saved one. A Part ID represents a set of details. After you have saved a Part ID and its details, you can retrieve them using Query.
When you select a previously saved Part or Rev, the associated details automatically display as selection defaults. You can change any of the associated defaults as necessary.
Field | Description |
---|---|
Part |
Enter, or click to select, a Part. You can also click to select a part. Choose characters for your Part that help identify the type of selections you made in the screen. |
When you save your record, all the details made in the screen are stored with the Part ID. Later, you can retrieve the part using Query. | |
You can maintain parts more efficiently because you can select the Part ID with its previously defined parameters. After the default selections display in the screen, you can override the defaults. | |
Rev |
Enter, or click to select, the revision of the part for which the routing is being created. This field displays a revision if one has been associated with the selected Part. |
Description |
This field displays the description of the part that you selected in the Part field. You can also click to select a different part and its corresponding description. |
Part Security |
This field is visible only if the Use Part Data Security Controls check box is selected on the Configure Product Definition Settings screen, which indicates that the part is subject to data security restrictions, as defined in the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) or the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). |
If enabled, this field displays one of the following values to indicate whether the part you are accessing is subject to part data security restrictions and whether you have the necessary authorization to access information for that part:
If you are unauthorized to access assembly parts or revisions that are subject to data security restrictions, then you will not be able to create or edit routings for those restricted assembly parts or revisions. Note: The features in this release relating to Part Data Security are intended to assist your company in achieving ITAR compliance. However, it is each company’s responsibility to confirm that it is meeting its obligations with respect to ITAR or other applicable requirements. Deltek does not warrant that use of this functionality will result in compliance.
