Routings
The steps, work centres and times needed to make an item.
Early access. Manufacturing can be installed from the App Store, but it is still being proven in real use, so this screen may change.
Overview
A routing lists the operations in order: each operation names the work centre that performs it, the setup and run time, and which operations must finish before it can start. The page has a steps grid, a flow view of the sequence, the cost of the route, revisions and a step-details dialog. Like a BOM, a routing can be approved and printed.
When you create a production order, its job cards come from the routing the order is pinned to, and the order is scheduled backwards from the due date on the factory calendar.
When to use routings
- You define how long and in which sequence a product is made.
- You need labour and machine time in the product cost.
