Entering Routing Instructions

Access the Enter Routing Information form.

Item Rev. (item revision)

Enter a number that indicates the revision level of a routing. This number is usually used in conjunction with an engineering change notice or engineering change order. The revision level of the routing should match the revision level of its associated bill of material, although the system does not check this.

This value is user-defined and not maintained by the system.

Run Labor

Enter the standard hours of labor that you expect to incur in the normal production of this item.

The run labor hours in the Routing Master table are the total hours that it takes the specified crew size to complete the operation. The hours are multiplied by the crew size during shop floor release and product costing.

For JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Plant & Equipment Management:

This is the estimated number of hours needed to complete a maintenance activity.

Run Machine

Enter the standard machine hours that you expect to incur in the normal production of this item.

Setup Labor

Enter the standard setup hours that you expect to incur in the normal completion of this item. This value is not affected by crew size.

Cons Prod (consumed produced)

Displays a code that indicates whether consumed resources, produced resources, or both are defined for the operation. Values are:

Blank: No consumed or produced resources are defined for the operation.

Cons: Consumed resources (components, ingredients) are defined going into the operation.

Prod: Produced resources (co-products, by-products) are defined coming out of the operation.

Both: Both consumed resources (components, ingredients) and produced resources (co-products, by-products) are defined for the operation.

Note: If this field is highlighted, then an intermediate exists for the operation.

Line/Cell

Enter a number that defines a production line or cell. Detailed work center operations can be defined inside the line or cell.

Type Oper (type operation)

Specify a UDC (30/OT) that indicates the type of operation. Values include:

A: Alternate routing

TT: Travel time

IT: Idle time

T: Text

For JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Product Costing:

Only operations with a blank type operation code are costed.

DFM Operation on Critical Path (demand flow manufacturing on critical path)

Set a flag to indicate if an operation exists on the critical path for a particular item. If this field is set to a 1, then it is the main line. This field is used during the lead time calculations.

This flag is set in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne DFM and cannot be changed manually. If you do not have JD Edwards EnterpriseOne DFM and enter a routing in base manufacturing, the value in the Critical Path field is set to a 1 for each operation. Never change this field manually.

Equipment Number

Enter an identification code that represents an asset. You enter the identification code in one of these formats:

1. Asset number (a computer-assigned, 8-digit, numeric control number).

2. Unit number (a 12-character alphanumeric field).

3. Serial number (a 25-character alphanumeric field).

Every asset has an asset number. You can use unit number and serial number to further identify assets. If this is a data entry field, the first character that you enter indicates whether you are entering the primary (default) format that is defined for the system or one of the other two formats. A special character (such as / or *) in the first position of this field indicates which asset number format that you are using. You assign special characters to asset number formats on the fixed assets system constants form.

Standard Desc. (standard description)

Enter a message code (48/SN) that is assigned to a standard note, message, or general narrative explanation. You can use this code to add instructional information to a work order. You set up codes for this field on the Generic Message/Rate Types table (F00191).

Job Type

Enter a UDC (07/G) that defines the jobs within the organization. You can associate pay and benefit information with a job type and apply that information to the employees who are linked to that job type.

Next Oper (next operation)

Enter the operation number with which the current operation can be simultaneously processed.

Yield % (yield percent)

Enter the planned output yield percent for a step. The Planned Yield Update program uses this value to update the cumulative percent in the routing and the operation scrap percent in the bill of material. MRP uses the step scrap percent and the existing component scrap percent to plan component demand.

Cum Yield % (cumulative yield percent)

Displays the cumulative planned output yield percent for a step. The system uses this value to adjust the operation step scrap percent for the components at that operation step. This enables MRP to use the operation step scrap percent, along with the existing component scrap percent, to plan component demand.

Percent of Overlap

Enter a number that indicates the percentage that successive operations can overlap.

The actual overlap percentage entered for the operation sequence is the percent by which that operation overlaps the prior operation. For example, if you enter 80 percent, this indicates that work can begin on the overlapped operation when 20 percent of the prior operation is completed.

Note: Overlapping has no effect on move and queue calculations. The percent entered must be less than or equal to 100 percent. Enter percents as whole numbers. For example, 5 percent should be entered as 5.00.

Time Basis

Enter a UDC (30/TB) that indicates how machine or labor hours are expressed for a product. Time basis codes identify the time basis or rate to be used for machine or labor hours entered for every routing step. For example, 25 hours per 1,000 pieces or 15 hours per 10,000 pieces. You can maintain the time basis codes in Time Basis Codes.

The system uses the values in the Description-2 field on the User Defined Codes form for costing and scheduling calculations. The description is what the code represents, but is not used in calculations.

(Release 9.2 Update) Time Basis Code 0 is hard-coded. Use this value to enter fixed machine run hours and labor run hours in a work order routing.

Consuming Location

Enter the storage location from which goods will be moved.

Resource Units

Enter a number that indicates how many of the line's resource units are needed to produce one item.

Capacity UOM (capacity unit of measure)

Enter a unit of measure that you use to express the capacity of a production line. Examples of units of measure include hours, number of stampings, coats of paint, and so on.

This item is used for repetitive processing only.

Employee Number

Enter a number that identifies an entry in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Address Book system from Oracle, such as employee, applicant, participant, customer, supplier, tenant, or location.

Competency Type

Enter a code that identifies a competency table or category for which you can track employee competencies. Values are:

001: Training.

002: Skill.

003: Accomplishment.

004: Certification.

005: Degree.

006: Language.

It is a UDC (05/CY), but the values are hard-coded and cannot be changed. Therefore, each of the competencies that you track must pertain to one of these competency types. Adding additional values to this list requires system customizations.

Competency Code

Enter a code that specifies a competency within a competency type. For example, a competency for the competency type Skill might be C programming or driving a forklift.

Level From

Enter the lowest value to be included in the rule criteria range for a competency level range selection.

Level To

Enter the highest value to be included in the rule criteria range for a competency level range selection.

Match Rule

Enter a value to indicate whether the resource must satisfy the requirements that define the rule criteria. Values are:

1: The resource must meet the rule criteria.

0: The rule criteria are optional.
