Understanding Routings

You can create and maintain routings by using PeopleSoft Manufacturing. Creating a routing includes defining the routing code, operations, scheduling options, routing times, conversion costs, routing text, attachments, and the associated tasks, count points, work centers, and resources. You can specify a routing by business unit for any manufactured or purchased item.

When you add a new routing, or when you change any attribute in an existing routing, the system optionally sends a workflow notification to the selected roles defined by you—such as engineering manager or cost accountant.

You can also maintain routings for consigned items that you manufacture.

If you have enabled PeopleSoft Workflow, when a change is made to a routing, the system uses the Routing Change workflow to notify the manufacturing engineer (or other defined role) that a change has been made to a routing.
