The intention of this process documentation is to introduce you to routing maintenance.It describes the process you must follow to create or change the basic structure of a routing. Having carried out these steps, you can complete the data for the various specialist areas
The following data has been created in the system:
The change master record for routings requiring a history
For more information, see the SAP Library Engineering Change Management (LO-ECH) under Maintaining a Change Master Record
For routings that you want to assign to a revision level, the corresponding revision level for the material to be produced.
For more information, see the SAP Library Engineering Change Management (LO-ECH) under
The master records of the work centers used in the routings
Depending on the activity you want to carry out, you choose one of the following
functions:
– Create routing
– Create routing by copying
– Change routing recipe
You enter the initial data required for routing maintenance. This includes:
– When you create a routing, the group to which the routing is to belong
– When you change a routing, the group or material together with the plant for which the routing is to be selected
– When creating or changing a routing, the validity period for which you want to maintain the routing
Depending on the change procedure required, you proceed as follows (refer to Change Management )
Change procedure |
Maintain the routing |
Without history |
key date |
With history |
With a change master record (change number) |
With history for revision level |
For the relevant revision level of the material to be produced |
You enter the header data for the routing. You specify, for instance:
– Where the routing can be used (for instance, in production or the maintenance department)
– The routing status (for example, Created )
– The responsible planner
You represent the individual process steps in your routing as follows:
– For each self-contained process steps you create an operation.
– For partial steps you create suboperations.
When maintaining operations and suboperations, you specify, for example, the control key that determines their business relevance.
You save the routing
