Planning - Generic Routing (cprpd3150m000)

Field Information

Main Item

The item produced in the production order.

Routing Unit

The quantity of the item based on which the routing is planned. You can use this unit to include short operation times in the routing of an item.

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.

Operation

The operation number.

Sequence Number

The serial number.

Next Operation

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.

Work Center

The work center ID.

When you define a work center code, you must find out which work center influences the cost estimates of production orders.

The number of work centers need not match with the number of physical work centers in your organization, as not every physical work center has an impact on estimated costs.

In the Production Planning (tisfc0110m000) session, you can modify the planning by having an operation carried out at another work center. In that case, the resource units must be similar.

Note: 

• The work center cannot be deleted if used anywhere else in LN.
• Before you can define a work center you must define a department in the Departments (tcmcs0565m000) session.

Machine Type

The machine on which the operation is performed.

Effective Date

The effective date from which the generic routing is valid.

Expiry Date

The date on which the operation line is no longer valid.

If you do not specify an expiry date, LN automatically sets the date to its maximum value.

Planned Production Time

The planned production time is used when you determine the average lead time and the average capacity for items with order system Planned.

Planning Percentage

The planning percentage serves to perform a Enterprise Planning calculation, as does the Planning Quantity field.

Lead Time Offset

This field is only used by Enterprise Planning. When a generic item is planned, the start date of an operation is calculated by offsetting the requirement date of the generic item with the lead time offset. The finish date of the operation is determined by adding the planned production time. The planning percentage is used to determine the required work center capacity.
