Displaying Allocations to Operations
If a routing exists for the selected material in the plant, you can go to the routing without leaving your BOM processing function.
A routing contains all the important information for manufacturing a product. It contains a sequence of operations and defines at which work centers production takes place.
From the BOM display function, you can display the operations of the routing and any existing allocations to material components. This function is active on all item overviews. Operation allocation is only supported for material components. If you try to execute this function for other object types, you see an error message. The allocation display function is also active on all detail screens for material components.
How to display allocations to a routing (operation):
– If there is no valid routing for the material, you see the following error message:
No valid routing exists
– If there are several routings, you see a dialog box in which you select a routing group.
– If one routing exists for the BOM, you see the Operation overview.
– The header of the list contains data which identifies the BOM, the item, and the routing.
– The Operations dataset lists all operations in this BOM whose sequence defines the production flow.
The work centers where processing is to take place are defined in the WorkCntr field with a description. The CtrK (control key) shows you how an operation is to be handled in operative applications (for example, in production orders, and capacity planning).
– If the item you selected is allocated to an operation, this operation has an indicator next to the operation description.
If you selected several items on the item overview, you can use Next item and Previous item to display the operation (allocation) for the next or previous item.
– Display cutting measurements or administrative data for the material components
– Display the sequence overview
