The item that is produced by the routing. If this field is empty, the routing that is defined in this session is a standard routing.
Item - Routings (tirou1101m000)Use this session to list, define, and maintain routing codes for item specific routings and standard routing. You can define multiple routings by assigning multiple routing codes to an item. For RPT items and for each routing defined for RPT items, the work center (which is the bottleneck for the routing in question) is determined. The production rate for the bottleneck operation is also determined. Note You must have a routing code equal to the code specified in the Default Routing field of the Routing Parameters (tirou0100m000) session. LN uses that routing code as a default, unless an order quantity dependent routing is applicable.
Manufactured Item The item that is produced by the routing. If this field is empty, the routing that is defined in this session is a standard routing. Routing The sequence of operations required to manufacture an item. For each operation, the task, machine, and work center are specified, as well as information about setup time and cycle time. The routing code identifies the routing sheet LN must print for production orders that use the corresponding routing. Multiple (alternative) routings are possible for each standard manufactured item. Selecting a routing may depend on the order quantity ( Quantity-dependent Routing in the Items - Production (tiipd0101m000) session). Standard Routing If this check box is selected, the operation sequence is linked to a standard routing and may apply to several items. The Standard Routing Code field contains the standard routing code. Standard Routing Code If the Standard Routing check box is selected, this field must contain a standard routing code. Routing Unit The quantity of the manufactured item on which the routing is based. A routing quantity enables you to include very short operation times in the routing of an item. Example
In a 60 minute time span, 100 items are produced. Consequently, the operation time of one item is 0.6 minute. If you selected the Standard Routing check box, LN displays the default routing quantity for the selected standard routing. This routing quantity can only be changed after you have cleared the Standard Routing check box. Routing Unit The unit of measure in which the inventory of an item is recorded, such as piece, kilogram, box of 12, or meter. The inventory unit is also used as the base unit in measure conversions, especially for conversions that concern the order unit and the price unit on a purchase order or a sales order. These conversions always use the inventory unit as the base unit. An inventory unit therefore applies to all item types, also to item types that cannot be kept in stock. Up to Order Quantity The maximum quantity for the routing. Depending on the order quantity, LN determines an operation sequence. Exceptions Present If this check box is selected, exceptions are linked to this routing. In other words, the routing is unit effective controlled. If you delete the routing's exceptions in the Unit Effectivity module, the check box is cleared. Note You cannot define exceptions for a standard routing. Scheduling Area A physical area or part of the production line for which a production schedule has been defined. Scheduling areas are defined for repetitive items. Bottleneck Work Center For RPT-items and for each routing defined, LN determines the bottleneck work center, which is displayed on this field. The bottleneck work center is determined either by choosing the Calculate Bottleneck... option or by running the Calculate Bottleneck Work Center and Production Rate (tirou1201m000) session. Corrected Bottleneck Work Center This field is automatically filled with the value of the Bottleneck Work Center field, if the Automatic Update check box is selected. You may enter a different bottleneck work center. If so, LN will use the data of that new work center. Production Rate The computed production rate. Corrected Prod. Rate The adjusted value of the production rate. This rate is used in planning orders. Last Calculation Date The last day that the production rate was calculated. Last Modification Date The day that the production rate of the bottleneck work center was updated. Automatic Update If this check box is selected, LN automatically fills the Corrected Bottleneck Work Center field and the Corrected Prod. Rate field with the bottleneck work center and the production rate that it calculates. If this check box is cleared, the work center that you specified in the Corrected Bottleneck Work Center field is leading, and overrules the bottleneck work center calculated by LN. / The time unit in which the production rate is expressed. Standard Configuration If this check box is selected, the routing is part of an item’s standard configuration. The costs related to the routing are included in the standard cost price. If the StandardConfiguration check box is cleared, the routing is not part of an item’s standard configuration. The costs related to the routing are not included in the standard cost price. The StandardConfiguration check box in combination with the setting of the Valid check box in the Exceptions (tcuef0105m000) session indicates whether the routing is used for a specific effectivity unit.
Note If the routing has exceptions attached, but you do not want to use the exceptions, for example, for selling spare parts, or for an end item which is not unit-effective, then you can clear this check box.
