Copy a Routing Template

Explanation

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

For outside work center operations, you can either select the Outside Operation Backflush type or the Outside Operation Supply type.  The default value for the backflush option is obtained from the work center. If an outside operation item has not been entered for the outside operation, a message will appear. However, you have the option of creating a new outside operation item. 

Note: There is no reference to the routing template after copying. Only the routing templates defined in the site of the routing maybe copied.

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
