Enter Quantity Limit for Alternate Routing
This procedure is used to enter quantity limits for each product and alternate routing. The quantity limit and quantity on order regulate the routing selected when a manufacturing order or a work order is created.
Before you start
Before you begin to enter quantity limits, these prerequisites must be met:
- A product structure header must be entered in 'Product Structure. Open' (PDS001).
- Field Alt routings in panel E of the product structure header must have a value of 2.
Follow these steps
Follow the steps below to enter quantity limits per product and alternate routing.
-
Select 'Product Structure. Open' (PDS001).
-
Mark the product and select Limits alt rout (option 12) to contain quantity-dependent alternate routings. This starts 'Product. Enter Alt Routing Limits' (PDS007).
-
Enter an alternate quantity and routing in as many steps as needed for automatic routing selection when manufacturing orders are created.
-
To process more products, go to step 2. Otherwise, end the program.
Output
This procedure results in the automatic selection of a routing depending on the quantity on order, when manufacturing orders or work orders are created.
