This field indicates the status on the shop floor of the preparation of the operations and tools in this routing. This field will be set to one of the following values:
A routing can only be assigned to the various manufacturing processes (such as work orders and cost calculations) when its status is 'Available to use'.
The 'In development' and 'Available to use' sites must be identical.
If you are creating a new non-versioned routing you can manually set this field to 'Available to use' when the routing detail is complete. This will also validate the coherence of the routing operations.
If you are creating a new version-managed routing, this field defaults to status 'In development'. Validating the version (using the Validation action) sets this field to 'Available to use' if the coherence of the routing operations is correct.
This field is not available for amendment after the version has been validated, if the routing code defined in the Routing field is version managed.
