Common Elements Used in Routings

Field or Control

Description

Routing Type

Select the type of routing. Options are:

  • Production: This is the default routing type. Production routings are used for standard manufacturing processes.

  • Rework: Create rework routings when you have a standard rework process. Rework routings list the routing steps that are commonly used for reworking an assembly.

  • Teardown: Use for breaking down an assembly into its component parts and returning the components back to inventory. Teardown routings can differ from the production routing, but they can use any of the existing tasks or work centers defined for production. Teardown outputs can be produced at any operation. Operations that produce teardown outputs cannot be subcontracted.

Note: Rework and teardown routings are used with production IDs only.

Cumulative Yield

This display-only field indicates the percentage of beginning quantity for the manufactured end item that is expected at the end of the production process as defined on the item's routing.

The cumulative yield is the compounded yield across the entire routing. This yield is applied to determine order quantities,

Op Seq (operation sequence)

Enter a value to sequence operations on a routing. It is advisable to increment operation sequence numbers by a set amount—for example, 5 or 10—in case you need to add operations at a later date.
