Copying a Manufacturing Routing Record
You can manually copy an existing manufacturing routing record and then reuse it with a new BOM. Reusing existing routings saves time, leverages existing processes, and avoids manual copy errors.
For example, Wolfe Manufacturing builds bicycles in their Denver location using the BOM U.S. Routing. The company then starts manufacturing bicycles at their Ontario location. By copying the BOM U.S. Routing and renaming it to BOM ON Routing, the Ontario location can follow the U.S. manufacturing process.
To copy a manufacturing routing record:
-
Go to Lists > Supply Chain > Manufacturing Routing.
-
Beside the routing you want to copy, click View.
-
From the Actions list, click Make Copy.
-
Change the manufacturing routing Name.
For example, change BOM U.S. Routing to BOM ON Routing.
-
Make other changes to the routing, as necessary.
-
Click Save.
