Running the Routing Information Engine

The Routing Information engine establishes a relationship between the activity and its associated cost objects and thus creates activity driver information. It establishes drivers between activities and cost objects. These drivers are similar to the drivers established from resources to activities when you run the Employee Profile engine. Once data is received automatically from PeopleSoft Manufacturing, you run the Routing Information engine to populate the Routing Options table (RTG_OPS_F00).

Routing Information is an optional engine that you run prior to running the Activity-Based Management engine. As with all Activity-Based Management engines, you can run the Routing Information engine in a job stream. You can also run it separately by accessing the Routing Information page.

The Routing Information engine populates temporary tables. After running this engine, you must run the Merge engine to transfer the data from the temporary tables to the final tables. You can do this by creating a job stream for both engines, or you can run both engines separately. You can also create a job stream that includes the Activity-Based Management engine.
