The version of this routing that applies on the scheduled start date (field Start date) for this work order is displayed, if the selected routing is version managed.
You can type in, or select a different version of this routing, if required.
- Major versions might be used where there have been increased or significant changes to the original or previous version, that is the 'form, fit or function' has changed.
- Minor versions might be used where there have been minor features or changes in functionality, or significant fixes applied to a specific major version.
This field is not available for entry if the displayed routing code is not version managed.
If you choose to select a different version of this routing the version selection screen only displays those versions that are available for use on the production start date. The list includes those versions with an exception date that matches the production start date of the work order. You can, however, view all versions of the selected routing via the Routing Management (GESROU) function.
If you type in a routing version which is not consistent with the displayed work order start date an error message is displayed. Your modifications will not be accepted.
The version you choose must be at status 'Available to use' on the scheduled start date of this work order. If you change the proposed production start date this might cause an inconsistency with the selected version. You will not be able to release the work order (via the OK action). You must either change the routing version or change the production start date for this work order before you can continue.
