Under the Production Routing
Maintenance menu, three functions can be found, Maintenance, List and Import.
The Maintenance function will bring up the maintenance screen shown above. The
List function will print out selected routings and can be used to export
routings to a CSV file. The Import function imports operations from a CSV
file.
Enter an Item Number and Routing
Number in the Maintenance screen and the system will list all the operations
for this routing. The cost information will appear to the right of each
operation and below that displays a summary of cost information. Display of
the cost information is subject to several security flags. They may need to be
turned on for managers and turned off for others.
Figure 17 shows the detail
information of an operation when an operator is adding or changing it. Most of
the fields are the same as those in Operation ID.
Name

Type
and Description
|
Operation Number
|
4
numeric digits 1 through 8999.
Operation
Number of one production step. This should be a number from 1 to 8999.
Workers in the production department should work on routing operations in
sequence by the operation number.
|
Operation ID
|
4
alpha-numeric characters.
This
should be a valid Operation ID or blank. If the Operation ID is given in add
mode, the rest of the fields default to values in that Operation ID. In
change mode, the system will ask the operator if the new Operation ID should
override the rest of the fields with values from that ID.
|
Operation Type
|
1
alpha-numeric character.
Type
of this operation.
Options
S -
Setup or Miscellaneous Operation. For machine setup or to gather miscellaneous
labor. This type of operation can be skipped if it is not a material issue
point.
I -
Inspection Operation.
P -
Production Operation.
M -
Moving Operation.
O -
Outside Process. This type of operation has outside process information like
vendor number and FOB cost.

Description
|
Two
fields of 30 alpha-numeric characters.
Each
operation can have 2 description lines.

work center is where this operation takes place. Production burden cost will
be calculated based on the burden parameters in this work center.
|
Direct Labor Grade

|
Shared Labor Grade
|
2
alpha-numeric characters.
Default shared labor grade of this operation. This will be used as a

alpha-numeric characters.
The
Vendor number of this outside process. This field is available to change if
the PO number is not given or the PO package is off. Otherwise, it should be
the same as that in the purchase order.

FOB Cost
|
10
numeric digits with 4 decimal places and an optional minus sign.

Extra
cost per piece for outside process, like tax or extra burden. The system
always uses the value defined in the operation to calculate the outside
process cost.

Fixed
cost per transaction for an outside process. The cost is the same no matter
how many pieces are sent for an outside process.

Work Order Plus provides a
feature to update all uncompleted work orders when a value in a Production
Routing is changed. This can be turned on by changing field 49, Mass Change
Routing thru Product Routing Mnt, in BOMP Global Setup to “Y” or “A”. When
values are changed in an operation the system will ask if the operator wants to
update all orders.
In addition to maintaining
production routings one by one, operators can export all routings to a CSV
file, edit the export file and import them back into the system.
If you have routings in the
Standard Product Routing module, Elliott provides a tool to export all routings
to a WO+ compatible CSV file (Main Menu à
Manufacturing à Standard Product
Routing à Processing à Routing Entry à Export). You can import them through Routing Import in
BOMP. Standard Product Routing allowed a pointer to be created in an operation
that pointed to a general routing. Since BOMP does not support pointers, the
export process will create an operation entry for each operation in the general
routing when a pointer is encountered. Also, the system will not export any
Tool or Note entries.
