Update Routing Revision and/or Alternative

Explanation

This activity is used to select a different routing revision and alternative for the shop order. (The current operation list is automatically selected when the system registers the shop order.) If the selected shop order is in the Parked status and the status before Parked was Reserved or Started, only the revision and/or alternate on the shop order head will be changed. If the shop order is for a part that has lot size based routing revision you can change to the correct alternative for the shop order lot size if the shop order is in the Planned or Released status.

Note: For a shop order that was in the Reserved or Started status before the Parked status, all updates on the Shop Order/Operation tab have to be done manually. In some instances, update is also possible to be done in the the Compare Shop Order with Structure and Routing window.

Prerequisites

This activity requires that the shop order is in the Planned or Released status or the shop order in the Parked status with the Enable Rev/Alt to be Changed check box selected.

System Effects

• The revision and/or alternate on the shop order head gets changed.
• If the shop order is in the Planned or Released status, the load is changed due to the new routing revision and/or alternate.
• If the part is a configured part and the shop order is in the Planned or Released status, the Shop Order/Operation tab will be updated with the rules for the selected revision and/or alternate.
