One of your ideas has been delivered from your suggestion.Import Routings Taking into Account Effectivity Start Dates

You may have routings with future effective start dates defined in your external manufacturing system of record. With this update, a new Effective Date attribute is added to the import template for Routings, ScpRoutingsImportTemplate, so that you can use the file-based data import process to upload routings with future effective start dates. Both unconstrained and constrained supply plans will honor the effective start dates. This capability enables you to flexibly define manufacturing processes in your systems as they evolve over time and have this evolution be part of the planning calculations.

Example of how you can define an effective start date for a routing in the ScpRoutingsImport file-based data import (FBDI) template:

Tips And Considerations

If you want to use the Import Routings Taking into Account Effectivity Start Dates feature, then you must opt in to its parent feature: Order Backlog Management. If you’ve already opted in to this parent feature, then you don’t have to opt in again.

Other Tips and Considerations:

  • Effective start date for a routing can be in the past, the system date, or a future date
  • Operation effective start dates can be either equal to or greater than the start date of the routing
  • Effective start date is supported for both discrete and process work definition methods from an external source system
  • Effective start date for routing can be collected in targeted and incremental or net change collection types
