Routing Operations (tirou1102m000)

Field Information

Main Item

The code of the manufactured item. If this field is empty, the routing is a standard routing.

An item code for a manufactured item must also be entered in the Item - Production (tiipd0101m000) session. If you want to define routing operations for a standard routing, you must leave this field empty.

Site

The site ID.

Note: Only visible if multisite functionality is active.

Routing

routing

Quantity-dependent Routing

If this check box is selected, LN selects a particular routing. The selection depends on the order quantity, therefore, the operation times for an item can depend on the order quantity.

Note: This does not apply to Generic items.

Start Operation

If the operation does not follow any other operation, this field displays an indicator for a start operation.

End Operation

If the operation is the final operation, this field displays an indicator for an end operation.

Up to Order Quantity

The production order quantity at which the routing is adjusted.

Order Lead Time

order lead time

You can determine the order lead time by clicking Update Lead Time... in the menu of this session, or clicking Update Order Lead Time in the Item - Production (tiipd0101m000) details session.

Note: 

• The value of this field is calculated based on the routing data entered in this session.
• The lead time, as based on the cycle time and other values, is multiplied with the economic order quantity specified in the item ordering data.

Routing Unit

routing quantity

Operation

operation

Sequence Number

The sequence number of the operation. This number is based on the effective/expiry dates, and is used to distinguish between operations.

The effectivity and expiry date for operations are used in:

• Enterprise Planning
• Standard Cost Calculation
• Job Shop Control

Next

If you defined a network routing, the operation that is specified in this field must be performed after the current operation.

Note: This field is visible if the Allow Parallel Operations in Routing check box in the Job Shop Master Data Parameters (tirou0100m000) session is selected.

• Regular routing

  If you do not define a network routing, the Next field must be 0 (zero) for all routing operations. In that case, the operations are performed in order of operation number, for example, 10 - 15 - 20 - 40.

• Network routing

  If you define a network routing, the following conditions apply:

  • Exactly one operation is the end operation. For the end operation, the Next field is 0 (zero).
  • The operation number of the next operation must be greater than the number of the current operation. For example, operation 40 must not follow operation 50.

  LN does not automatically check these conditions. To check whether the routing meets the conditions, on the appropriate menu, click Validate Sequence.

  When a production order is created, LN validates the routing and stops the process if the routing is incorrect.

Standard Configuration

If this check box is selected, the routing operation is part of an item’s standard configuration. The costs related to the routing operation are included in the standard cost. If the Standard Configuration check box is cleared, the routing operation is not part of an item’s standard configuration. The costs related to the routing operation are not included in the standard cost.

The Standard Configuration check box in combination with the setting of the Valid check box in the Exceptions (tcuef0105m000) session indicates whether the routing operation is used for a specific effectivity unit.

• If the Standard Configuration check box is selected, and the Valid check box is cleared for an exception linked to the routing operation, the routing operation will be omitted for a specific effectivity unit or requirement.
• If the Standard Configuration check box is cleared, and the Valid check box is selected for an exception linked to the routing operation, the routing operation will be added for a specific effectivity unit or requirement.

Note: If the routing operation 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.

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.
• The Standard Configuration check box and the Exceptions Present check box cannot be selected at the same time.

DMS on Completion

If this check box is selected, direct material supply (DMS) planning will be run when the operation is reported complete.

Queue Time

queue time

Time Unit

The time unit in which your express the queue time.

If the time unit is Hours, you can enter fractions. If the time unit is Days, LN rounds the entered values to an integer.

Production Rate

The number of units for which the task can be performed per unit of time (per hour or per minute, depending on the Production Rate Time Unit field in the Job Shop Master Data Parameters (tirou0100m000) session), for a combination of an X-axis value and a Y-axis value from a norm table.

You can compute the production rate in two ways:

• If the Use Production Rates check box in the Job Shop Master Data Parameters (tirou0100m000) session is selected, you can compute the production rate by zooming to the Calculate Norm Time (tirou0230m000) session.
• You can enter a value in the Cycle Time field, and compute the production rate by clicking the Calculate Rate button.

Note: If the Use Production Rates check box in the Job Shop Master Data Parameters (tirou0100m000) session is cleared, you cannot maintain this field.

Wait Time

Move Time

Man Occupation for Setup

The number of persons required to accomplish the operation's setup. Enter the number of persons required to accomplish the operation in the Man Occupation for Production field.

Man Occupation for Production

The number of persons required to accomplish the operation. Enter the number of persons required to accomplish the operation's setup in the Man Occupation for Setup field. For more information about changing this field, refer to the session Help of Routing Operations (tirou1102m000).

Machine Occupation

This field indicates how many machines are required to carry out the operation. For more information about changing this field, refer to the session Help of Routing Operations (tirou1102m000).

This field is enabled when you have defined a machine for the selected work center in the Tasks (Reference Operations) (tirou0103m000) session.

Fixed Duration

Fixed Setup Time (SCS)

The sequence independent time required to set up or change over a machine in order to start running the machine.

Count Point

If this check box is selected, the operation is a count point.

Backflushing

If this check box is selected, the materials and/or hours used during the operation are automatically backflushed after an operation is reported as complete.

Serialized items

Serialized items can only be backflushed if in the Item - Warehousing (whwmd4500m000) details session the Serials in Inventory check box is cleared, and the Register Serial Issue During As Built field is Yes. In all other cases, serialized items cannot be backflushed.

If the serialized item is lot-controlled, the lot from which the items are backflushed is based on the outbound method ( Last In First Out (LIFO), First In First Out (FIFO)) as is defined in the Item - Warehousing (whwmd4500m000) details session.

If this check box is selected, you can start the next operation before the complete production batch is finished. You must enter a value in the Transfer Batch Quantity field, which indicates when the next operation can be started. If this check box is cleared, the next operation starts when the complete production batch is finished.

If the Transfer Batch Method field in the Job Shop Master Data Parameters (tirou0100m000) session is Quantity, you must type a quantity in the Transfer Batch Quantity field. If the Transfer Batch Method field is Percentage, you must type a percentage.
