Create Routing using Template Reference

Explanation

Use this activity to create a routing with the operations needed to manufacture the part by using a routing template as reference.

Note: If you change the routing template, the routing for the part also changes. If you change the routing for the part manually, you lose the reference to the routing template. Only routing templates defined in the site of the routing maybe referenced.

Prerequisites

This activity requires that a routing template must have been defined in Routing Template. The part must be defined in Inventory Part with the part type set as manufactured or manufactured recipe. This automatically creates a routing record for the part.

System Effects

As a result of this activity, the system creates a routing with operations for a part by using a routing template as a reference. The routing contains a reference to the routing template.
