Routings Subtask

The Routings subtask displays the routing lines for the selected part on the main screen.

Note:

The Routings subtask is disabled if the selected component part row is a provisional part.

When you access this screen, the table window is not populated. If you selected the Primary Routing check box for the part on the Manage Routings screen, the primary routing number displays, and the Load Routing button is enabled. You can also click to select another routing for the selected part. Click Load Routing to populate the table window with the part's selected routing information. The remaining fields on this screen are non-editable.

Field Description
Proposal, Rev

The values in these fields come from the main screen to display the proposal, proposal revision, and description.

Item, Rev, U/M, Make/Buy, Part Breakpoint Quantity

The values in these fields come from the item line on the main screen table window to display the selected item, item revision, description, unit of measure, make/buy code (M for Make or B for Buy), and quantity breakpoint.

Routing No

Enter, or click to select, the routing number to be loaded for this part when you click the Load Routing button. The primary routing number for the part, if any, defaults into this field. The routing description displays in the adjoining, unlabeled field. If the routing you select has not been released, Costpoint displays a warning.

Released

This field displays Y (Yes) to indicate that the routing was released on the Manage Routings or Release Routings screen and is ready for use. If it is N (No), the routing has not been released, and Costpoint displays a warning.

Total Labor Costs

Costpoint calculates total labor costs by summing all Operation Cost for Breakpoint Qty amounts for labor operation lines that have a Labor/Subcontractor of L.

Total Subcontract Costs

Costpoint calculates total subcontractor costs by summing all Operation Cost for Breakpoint Qty amounts for subcontractor operation lines that have a Labor/Subcontractor of S.

Load Routing

Click this button to populate the table window with the routing lines for the selected routing number.

Overwrite Existing Proposal Costs

Select this check box to load and overwrite the costs in the Proposal Item Cost subtask with the routing cost. The cost will load when you click the Load Proposal Item Costs button.

Routing Details

If a routing line has a Step Type of P (Capacity Planning) or the Alternate Operation is greater than zero on the Manage Routings screen, the line does not display in this table window, and is not included in calculations. The system sorts the rows in this table window by Operation Sequence and Step.

Field Description
Operation Sequence

This field displays the operation number of the routing step for the part. Each routing line requires an operation; this number must be greater than zero.

Oper Step

This field displays the routing step number. This number must be greater than zero.

Operation

This field displays the code of the labor or subcontractor operation being performed on this routing step. Establish operation information on the Manage Labor Operations or Manage Subcontractor Operations screen.

Oper Type

This field displays the operation type code assigned to the Operation on the Manage Labor Operations or Manage Subcontractor Operations screen. Set up operation types on the Manage Operation Types screen.

Labor/Subcontract

Costpoint calculates costs based on whether the routing operation is an internal labor operation (L) established on the Manage Labor Operations screen, or an external vendor subcontract operation (S) established on the Manage Subcontractor Operations screen.

  • For each Labor routing line, the labor cost calculation depends on the line's Rate Source (from the Manage Routings screen), Run Type, Run Hours, Setup Hours, Hourly Run Rate, and Hourly Setup Rate.
  • For each Subcontract routing line, the subcontract cost calculation depends on the line's standard Unit Cost and Fixed Cost.
Operation Description

This field displays the description of the operation.

Step Type

This field displays a routing step of S (Standard) or C (Cost Only).

Note:

Routing lines with a Step Type of P (Capacity Planning) do not display in this table window, and are not included in calculations.

Work Center

This field displays the default work center ID for the operation. Use the Manage Work Centers screen to access work center information. This field is populated only for labor operations. Work Centers do not apply to subcontractor operations.

Run Type

This field displays the default value V (Variable) or F (Fixed) that determines how run hours and costs are calculated.

Run Hours

This field displays the Unit Run Hours from the table window on the Manage Routings screen.

Note:

For labor operations, the unit run hours also display in the Std Hours Run Rate field of the Manage Routings screen.

Setup Hours

This field displays the Setup Hours from the Leadtime/Capacity subtask of the Manage Routings screen.

Note:

For labor operations, the setup hours also display in the Std Hours Setup Rate field on the Manage Routings screen.

Hourly Run Rate, Hourly Setup Rate

The Rate Source (from the Manage Routings screen) determines the Hourly Run Rate and Hourly Setup Rate used for the labor cost calculations. These fields display 0 for subcontractor operations. The following conditions apply to both rate calculations:

  • If the Rate Source is Work Center, the Current Work Center run and setup rates are used for the work center ID on the routing line. If multiple rows exist on the Manage Work Centers screen (where the rates can be modified), the row with the latest effective date that is earlier than, or the same as, the current date is used.
  • If the Rate Source is Operation, the Current Operation run and setup rates are used for the operation ID on the routing line. If multiple rows exist on the Manage Labor Operations screen (where the rates can be modified), the row with the latest effective date that is earlier than, or the same as, the current date is used.
  • If the Rate Source is Override, the Override run and setup rates are used on the routing line. You can modify the Override rate directly on the Manage Routings screen.
Unit Cost, Fixed Cost

For Labor operations, the routing line's Run Type (on the Manage Routings screen) determines whether the run costs are considered unit or fixed costs:

  • When the Run Type is V (Variable), the system calculates labor cost on a per-unit basis and displays the result in the Unit Cost field. The Unit Cost is calculated as Hourly Run Rate * Run Hours, and the Fixed Cost is calculated as Hourly Setup Rate * Setup Hours.
  • When the Run Type is F (Fixed), the system stores the labor cost with the setup costs in the Fixed Cost field. The Unit Cost is 0, and the Fixed Cost is calculated as (Hourly Run Rate * Run Hours) + (Hourly Setup Rate * Setup Hours).

For Subcontract operations, the Rate Source (from the Manage Routings screen) determines the fields that are used for the subcontractor cost calculations of the routing line operation:

  • If the Rate Source is Operation, the Current Operation Std Unit Cost, Current Operation Std Fixed Cost, and Current Operation Burden Rate of the Manage Routings screen are used for the routing line's operation. If multiple rows exist in the Costs subtask of the Manage Subcontractor Operations screen (where the rates can be modified), the row with the latest effective date that is earlier than, or the same as, the current date is used.
  • If the Rate Source is Override, the Override Std Unit Cost, Override Std Fixed Cost, and Override Burden Rate of the Manage Routings screen are used for the routing line's operation.
Operation Cost for Breakpoint Qty

Costpoint calculates this field as follows:

(Unit Cost * Part Breakpoint Quantity) + Fixed Cost

Load Proposal Item Costs

After the table window is loaded with the correct routing information, click this button to load the cost information into a new row in the Proposal Item Costs subtask. For new lines, Costpoint displays a message asking if you are sure you want to populate the Proposal Item Costs subtask with this routing information. If the row already exists in the Proposal Item Costs subtask, you can still load these lines and overwrite the existing routing information.

In the Proposal Item Costs table window, routing cost information loads with a Cost Source Type of RU and a Cost Source Description of Routing. The primary routing number displays in the Cost Source Number field. The routing's part breakpoint quantity populates the Minimum Quantity field in the Proposal Item Costs table window for the routing line. Additionally, the routing's Total Labor Costs and Total Subcontractor Costs default into the This Level Labor Unit Cost and This Level Subcontractor Unit Cost fields, respectively.

Note:

As with any Cost Source Type row you load, you must run Compute Proposal Item Costs to calculate and roll up all applicable proposal costs.
