Routings Subtask

Use the Routings subtask to add or view labor/subcontract routings for this MO.

Enter routings information on the Manage Routings and Release Routings screens in Costpoint Routings. This subtask is disabled if you do not have access to Costpoint Routings.

Contents

Field Description
Manufacturing Order ID

This column displays the manufacturing order ID from the main screen.

MO Status

This column displays the MO Status as Planned, Firm Planned, Released, In-Shop, Completed, or Closed.

Build Part

This field displays the part ID for which the MO was created.

Rev

This field displays the revision ID for the build part.

Build Quantity

This field displays the quantity of the part being built with this MO.

Routing No

Enter, or click to select, the routing number of the part to be built. This value is limited to two digits and is populated from the main screen, but it can be modified. The routing description displays in the field to the right.

Include Alternate Operations

Select this check box to have the system pull in alternate operations of the selected routing. When creating or updating the MO, you can choose which routing operations, alternate operations, and steps to record against the MO. When using a routing that has alternate operations, the system validates the row for matching operation sequences and alternate operations with a value greater than zero. If you click the Autoload button, the system displays the message "Alternate Operations exist for this routing, please delete the Operation Sequences and steps that are no longer applicable". If you add a new line and enter this information, and the same operation sequence/alternate operation already exists, this message displays: "You have chosen a routing with alternate routing operations, please manually delete any operations you do not want to use with this Manufacturing Order".

Notes

Enter detailed notes regarding this routing line.

For new rows, this field is populated with the notes associated with the Routing No.

If you modify the notes, your modifications are saved separately in the Costpoint database if there is at least one routing operation row. Upon implementation, your modifications are reflected in this routing header notes field.

Overwrite Existing Rows

Select this check box to overwrite existing routing line rows when the Autoload action is executed.

Load Unreleased Routing

Select this check box to allow the system to load the unreleased routing lines of the selected routing number when the Autoload action is executed.

Autoload

Click this button to automatically load routing lines associated with the selected routing number. This pulls in only routings of the build part. Subassembly routings are not included, no matter how many levels of explosion are requested in the main screen. The routing number at the top of the screen determines which of the build part's routing lines are loaded. You cannot autoload Routings after timesheets have been entered against the MO or if the MO is completed or closed.

The Autoload function included routing lines with a starting effective date earlier than, or the same as, the As of Date in the main screen (for the MO build part) and an ending effective date (if not blank) later than the As of Date.

If you select the Include Alternate Operations check box, the Autoload function loads alternate routing lines (resulting in duplicate operation and step numbers). If you enter an active routing number for the build part and select the Autoload button, even if the routing table window is populated, the system displays the following warning:

"Routing rows already exist for this MO. Auto-loading routings will overwrite existing routing rows".

If you select Yes, the table window is populated with the routing information for the routing specified in the Routing No field. If you select No, you will return to the subtask as it currently displays.

If you did not select the Allow Full Changes on MO Routing Lines check box on the Configure Production Control Settings screen, you can select and load alternate work centers. You can delete routing lines only if alternates exist. You cannot add new lines.

Update Last Routing Line Due Date

Click this button to update the last routing line's Due Date with the MO Need Date.

Update First Routing Line Planned Start Date

Click this button to update the first routing line's Planned Start Date with the MO's Planned In Shop Date.

Update First Routing Line Start Date

Click this button to update the first routing line's Actual Start Date with the MO Actual In Shop Date.

Routing Lines

This table window displays labor and/or subcontract routings for this MO. If a line's Labor/Subcontract field is L (Labor), the operation information is populated by default from the Manage Labor Operations screen in Costpoint Routings. Similarly, if a line's Labor/Subcontract field is S (Subcontract), the operation information is populated by default from the Manage Subcontractor Operations screen. If you did not select the Load Capacity Planning Routing Lines to MO check box on the Configure Production Control Settings screen, capacity planning-only routing lines (where the Step Type is P for the routing line in the Manage Routings and/or Release Routings screens in Costpoint Routings) is excluded when you click the Autoload button.

If you select the Include Alternate Operations check box and use the Autoload button, this field displays the alternate operations sequence entered for this routing in Costpoint Routings.
