Understanding How to Attach Routing Instructions Interactively

In addition to attaching routing instructions to work order headers in batch, you can also enter routing instructions interactively or manually. That is, you can create a custom set of routing instructions or revise them manually after they have already been attached to the work order header. For example, you might have a special routing for a certain engineering release phase in which you want to test a new process step. As with the parts list, you have the option of copying information from an existing routing for an item or from another work order.

When you locate the routing instructions, the system displays the operations that are effective at the start date of the work order and those that are standard instructions or text lines. When no routing instructions are attached to the work order, no values appear in the associated fields.
