Routing Usage Check (SAP Library - Production Planning and Control (PP))

Routing Usage Check

Use

This function is carried out by the system before routings are archived or deleted. It prevents you from archiving or deleting routings that are still in use.

Features

The following routing uses are checked:

Use in a production version

The routing is stored in the material master record as a part of a production version.

Use in an inspection lot

This criterion is only relevant if you use Quality Management (QM). You can only archive a routing if it is no longer used in an inspection lot.

References in routings or rate routings

You can only archive reference operation sets or reference rate routings if references to other task lists no longer exist.

Usage in a run schedule header

A run schedule header always requires information from its routing, for example for confirmation. You can only archive this type of routing if the run schedule header is complete and archived.

Other usages that you define using the SAP Enhancement CPRE0001

Activities

Two scenarios are possible if the system determines that a routing is still being used in the system either with standard checks or if it meets the criteria you specified with SAP Enhancement CPRE0001:

The archiving run is terminated. You receive an information message with the routing that is still being used. Do not set the Log indicator in variant maintenance for this result.

The archiving run is completed and then you receive a log with a list of routings that could not be archived or deleted because of the usage check.
Set the Log indicator in variant maintenance for this result.
