Master Routings (Release 9.2 Update)

The Cost Simulation program uses the master routing for the item from the Routing Master table if all of these conditions are met:

  • The Master Routing field in the Manufacturing Constants form is set to Y for the branch.

  • You have defined a cross-reference item for the parent item on the master routing.

    You must define the cross-reference item with a cross-reference type of MR. The Address field must be blank.

  • You have defined an item routing for the cross-reference item.

  • You have specified a branch/plant value for the parent item.

  • The parent item and the cross-reference item must exist in the same branch/plant.

The system checks for a cross-reference for an item in the branch/plant. If it finds a cross-reference, the program uses master routing. If it does not find a cross-reference, the system uses the routing defined for the parent item and checks the next item in the branch/plant for a cross-reference.The absence of any cross-reference items in the same branch as the parent items implies that master routing does not exist for the selected branch/plant.
