A routing template is a set of generic routings that can be used as the basis for actual routings. This includes all normal operation information, excluding the part number. The routing template is site specific as it uses data elements such as work center, labor class and tools that are site specific.
A routing template can be copied or referenced. One or more templates can be assigned to a part, causing the template information to be copied into a new routing for that part. When information is changed in a template, the status will change to Changes Pending if the template is currently referenced in routings. Executing the Propagate Changes right mouse button option will propagate the revised template.
