 Copy Routing page

Source Routing

Field or Control

Description

Routing Code

Select the code for the desired source business unit and item ID combination.

Routing Type

Select for the source routing. After you select a routing type for the source routing, the system uses the same routing type by default for the target routing.

Search

Click to display the routing information associated with source business unit and item.

Cumulative Yield

Displays the cumulative yield that will be copied if all operations are copied.

Target Routing

Field or Control

Description

Routing Code

Select the code for the desired target business unit and item ID combination. You cannot specify as the target an item that has a source code of floor stock, expense, or planning. If you want to use one item's routing as the basis for the routing of another item with similar processing, enter the same business unit for both the source and the target.

Routing Type

The target routing type is the same as for the source.

Operations

Field or Control

Description

Copy

Select to copy any specific row of data.

Sub (subcontracted)

If the task is subcontracted, this check box is selected.

Count Point

If the source routing or target routing contains an operation sequence that is a count point, this check box is selected.

Use the Copy Routing: Detail page (EN_RTG_COPY_DET) to review the data to be copied.

Navigation:

Manufacturing Definitions > Resources and Routings > Routings > Copy Routings > Copy Routing Detail

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Copy Routing Detail page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

 Copy Routing Detail page

You can copy the associated routing operation times, resources, text, attachments, and documents, as well as assembly text, attachments, and documents. If you do not want to copy routing attributes, deselect the attributes by deselecting the appropriate check boxes.

Note: You can copy documents only if you have selected identical item IDs for both the source routing and target routing.

Field or Control

Description

Copy

Select which operations to copy or not copy by selecting or deselecting the appropriate check boxes.

Same as Except

Use to select the operations to copy. The options are:

  • Exclude All: Use this option to deselect all the check boxes.

    You can then select only the operations that you want to copy by selecting their Copy check boxes.

  • Exclude Op Seq Range: Use this option to exclude by ranges.

    When you select this option, the system displays the From and To Seq Nbr (sequence number) fields. Enter the range of operations that you want to exclude and then click the Apply button.

  • Include All: Use this option to select all the check boxes.

    You can then deselect only the operations that you do not want to copy by deselecting the appropriate Copy check boxes.

  • Include Op Seq Range: Use this option to include by ranges.

    When you select this option, the system displays the From and To Seq Nbr (sequence number) fields. Enter the range of operations that you want to include and then click the Apply button.

Copy Operation Resources

Copy all resources in the source work center to the target work center, along with the resource priorities.

View Source

Click to view the source item's routing and the operations selected to copy.

View Target

Click to preview how the target item's routing will look when it's copied.

Save

Click to complete the copying process. If the exact business unit, item ID, routing type, and routing code combination already exist as the target, the system prompts you to overwrite the existing routing. If you overwrite the routing, the system deletes the target routing and replaces it with the source routing. The Edit Routing button appears so that you can access the Routing Maintenance component to make changes to the copied routing.

Edit Routing

Click to edit the source item's routings with the Define Routings - Summary page.
