You can define bills of material for items with or without routings. If you use routings, you can either define the bill first or the routing first.
With component-to-operation assignments, you can schedule and issue component material to the operation that requires the component on the exact requirement date. You can also assign the same component on the bill to different operations on the routing, with different usage quantities for each assignment.
If no routing exists for the item, all components default to operation sequence 1. You cannot change this value until you define a routing for the item. After you define the routing, you can update your bill of material with routing operations if you want specific component-to-operation assignments.
If you define the routing before you define a bill, assign components to valid routing operations, or an operation sequence 1 when you define the bill. If you define an alternate routing and then define the alternate bill, you can assign components to the alternate routing operations. If you define an alternate bill and no alternate routing exists, you can assign components to the primary routing operations.
