Understanding Attachment of Routing Instructions
You attach the routing instructions after you enter a work order header. Routing instructions provide details about the operations and resources that are required to complete the quantity of items requested from the shop floor. You can attach the routing instructions using any of these methods:
Manually, by entering each work center on the Work Order Routing form.
Interactively, by using the Work Order Entry program (P48013).
Automatically, by setting a processing option for the Work Order Parts List program (P3111) after you attach a parts list using the work order entry program.
Automatically, using the Order Processing program (R31410).
(Release 9.2 Update) Automatically, by calling a version of the Order Processing program (R31410) at the time of work order creation.
Regardless of the method that you use to attach routing instructions to work orders, you should attach the instructions at the same time that you attach the parts list. The system uses the routing instructions to verify information about each item on the parts list.
