A
routing defines the step-by-step operations you perform to
manufacture a product
Each
routing can have any number of operations
For
each operation, specify a department that determines the resources
for that operation.
Primary and Alternate Routings
A
primary routing is the list of operations most frequently performed
to build a product.
We
Can define one primary routing and many alternate routing an item
.
define
an alternate routing to describe a different manufacturing process
used to produce the same product
specify
the item and alternate name to define an alternate routing
Bills
and routings can share alternate labels
If
there is no routing with the same alternate label, components are
assigned to operations on the primary routing.
Engineering Routings
define
an engineering routing as an alternate for a manufacturing routing
This
would typically be used to prototype a variation from the primary
routing that produces the same assembly.
Both
engineering and manufacturing routings share the same resource,
department, and standard operation information
Sequence of Operations
Routings
define the step-by-step descriptions, or operations, for
manufacturing an assembly. Each operation on a routing defines a
specific portion of the manufacturing process for the assembly. We
can use operations to identify the location, the quantity, and the
state of completion of the assemblies you are currently
manufacturing.
For
each component item on the bill of material associated with a
routing, We can specify the operation sequence where you require the
item.
Backflushing Transactions
We can
specify at what point in the routing you backflush component material
Moves
automatically backflush the appropriate components at the time they
are needed.
postpone
the backflush of material at time-critical operations until a later
operation
Minimum Transfer Quantities
set
the minimum quantity that you move from an operation when you define
a routing.
The
Move Transactions window in Oracle Work in Process issues a warning
when you move a quantity less than this minimum
Prerequisites
You
must define at least one department before you can create a routing.
BOM
Allowed must be set to Yes for the item you are creating a routing
for.
Completion Subinventory and Locator Fields
Define
the completion subinventory and locator where you store finished
assemblies upon completion.
Count Point and Autocharge Fields
The
Count Point and Autocharge check boxes work together
We
Cannot set Count Point on and Autocharge off
When
We move assemblies from an operation with Count Point on / Autocharge
on operation to another count point operation set the same way, Work
in Process automatically completes all Count Point off / Autocharge
on count point operations between them
.
To
transact a Count Point off / Autocharge off count point operation,
you must explicitly move assemblies into and out of that operation
Moving
assemblies past a Count Point off / Autocharge off count point
operation acts as though the operation did not exist in the routing
If
we issue components with a supply type of Operation pull to an
assembly at a Count Point off / Autocharge off count point operation,
Work in Process backflushes these components when you move out of the
Count Point off / Autocharge off count point operation into a count
point operation that allows backflushing
.
Work
in Process never pulls components with a supply type of Assembly pull
from Count Point off/ Autocharge off count point operations
The
Backflush field should always be turned on for the last operation in
a routing
.
Schedule Field
Yes:
Include this resource when scheduling an operation from a job or
repetitive schedule and calculating manufacturing lead time for the
assembly.
No:
Do not include scheduling the operation or calculating the lead time.
Prior:
Include this resource when scheduling a job or schedule by backward
scheduling the previous operation from the end of this resource. Use
this option when setup resources can work in parallel with previous
operations. The lead time is calculated the same way Work in Process
schedules the job or repetitive schedule.
Next:
Include this resource when scheduling a job or repetitive schedule by
forward scheduling the next operation from the start of this
resource. Use this option when the teardown of the current operation
can overlap with the execution of the next operation. The lead time
is calculated the same way Work in Process schedules the job or
repetitive schedule.
Charge Type Field
Determine
how each resource is charged in Work in Process.
Manual:
Work in Process does not automatically charge this type of resource
to a job or repetitive schedule. We must manually charge it to a job
or repetitive schedule using Work in Process
PO
Receipt: Automatically charge this resource upon receipt of a
purchase order in Oracle Purchasing. The assemblies are not
automatically moved to the next operation upon receipt, so you must
manually move them using Work in Process.
PO
Move: Automatically charge this resource upon receipt of a purchase
order in Oracle Purchasing and move the assemblies to the Queue
intraoperation step of the next operation, or to the To move
intraoperation step if this is the last operation.
WIP
Move: Work in Process automatically charges this type of resource to
a job or repetitive schedule when you complete an operation.
