Routings (PP-BD-RTG) 

Purpose

Routings enable you to plan the production of materials (products). Therefore, routings are used as a template for production orders and run schedules as well as as a basis for product costing.

Integration

In order to	You also require the components
Plan the usage of materials	Material master (LO-MD-MM)
Plan the use of work centers	Work centers (PP-BD-WKC)
Plan the external processing of operations	Purchasing (MM-PUR)
Plan quality inspections that accompany production	Quality planning (QM-PT)
Prepare cost calculation according to routings	Controlling (CO)
Plan and to document changes to routings	Engineering Change Management (LO-ECH)
Classify routings	Classification system (CA-CL)
Automatically calculate the planned values for the activities to be produced	CAPP Standard Value Calculation (PP-BD-CAP)

In the R/3 System, routings have the same basic structure as the following objects:

·        Master recipes

·        Inspection plans

·        Maintenance plans

·        Standard networks

Therefore, routings are cumulated with these objects under the superordinate term Task list.

Features

In a routing you plan

·        The operations (work steps) to be carried out during production

·        The activities to be performed in the operations as a basis for determining dates, capacity requirements, and costs

·        The use of materials during production

·        The use of work centers

·        The quality checks to be carried out during production
