Manufacturing > Technical data > Routings > Routing codes 

The routing codes are used to define several routings for the same product, the reference of a routing being composed of the product reference and the routing code number.

It is possible to limit the use of the routing to a specific operator thanks to the access code, or to a specific site. If no site has been specified, the range will then be valid for all the sites.

A routing code can be put to one or several uses:

  • Production
  • Cost calculation
  • RCCP

For each routing code, it is possible to combine up to three production BOM codes.

    Prerequisite

    SEEREFERTTO Refer to documentation Implementation

    Screen management

    Entry screen

    Fields

    The following fields are present on this tab :

    Block number 1

    • Routing code (field ROUALT)

    Multiple routings can be defined for a single product. Each routing code can be assigned specific management features. These include restriction of the routing to a specific site and to specific areas of functionality (for use in a manufacturing environment, for costing or for capacity planning).

    • Description (field TRODESAXX)

     

    • Short description (field TROSHOAXX)

     

    Confidentiality

    This access code is used to restrict access to data by user or group of users.
    If this field is entered, only users with this access code in their profile can use this transaction.
    If several transactions are available, you can choose the transaction you want to use to open the function. If only one transaction is available, there is no selection to be made: the default entry screen opens directly.

    The production site associated with the user is proposed by default. It can be modified by another site authorized for the operator, depending on its authorizations.

    Use

    • Manufacturing (field MFGUSE)

    When it is activated, this checkbox is used to specify that the alternative can be used in the management of Work Orders (production)

    • Costs (field CSTUSE)

    When it is activated, this checkbox is used to specify that the alternative can be used in the calculations of the standard costs (production)

    • RCCP (field RCCUSE)

    RCCP (Yes/No)
    Indicates if the alternative can be used in the Global charge calculation (rough cut capacity planning) carried out at the same time as the Master Production Schedule calculation.

    Associated BOMs

    Several BOMs can be defined for a single product reference.
    They can be distinguished via the code, entered on two numbers.

    The various BOM codes can be used to manage different product structures according to their use context such as:

    • MRP calculation,
    • sales order entry,
    • manufacturing/production.

    This field can be left empty (value = 0) to enable manual entry of the components. In this case, only the component is loaded.

    Reports

    By default, the following reports are associated with this function :

     TABROUALT : Routing code listing

    This can be changed using a different setup.

    Error messages

    In addition to the generic error messages, the following messages can appear during the entry :

     
    X : Commercial BOM code!

    It is only possible to combine production BOM codes to a routing code.

    At least one use must be defined for this code

    This message appears when no use box has been checked.

    At least one BOM must be associated with this routing code.

    This message appears when no BOM has been entered.
