The production processes for a product are described in routings. See Allocating a Component to an Operation.

If a routing for the material does not exist, you can create a routing from the BOM change mode. You can also change an existing allocation (material component – operation).

You can change an allocation from the following screens:

Select the item you want to allocate to an operation.

Note

The standard system does not support allocation to operations for the following item categories:

These items are deselected. The system displays a message telling you this.

How to change the allocation of a component to an operation:

  1. Choose Extras ® Operation allocation.

    2. If no routing exists for the material, you see a dialog box in which you can decide whether to create a routing.

    – If you want to create a routing, confirm the query. You see the Create routing: Initial screen.

    – Enter the data you require and confirm your entries. The system makes a series of checks. If all your data is correct, you see the Header Detail screen.

    Enter the header data you require for your routing.

    – To enter operations, choose Goto ® Operation overview.

    – Define the work centers for processing.

    – Confirm your entries. You may see specific detail screens for the work center. Enter the necessary data on these screens.

    If your data is correct, you return to the Operation overview.

    If a routing exists, you see the Operation overview.

    If the selected BOM item has not yet been allocated to an operation, the Allocation exists indicator (at the end of a line containing an operation) is not selected for any operation.

  2. Select the operation to which you want to allocate your material component.
  3. Choose New allocations.

    4. The system allocates the operation you selected to the item you selected and selects the Allocation exists indicator at the end of a line containing the operation.

  4. In the Material components menu, you can display the General data and the Administrative data of the allocated material components.
  5. Once you have allocated the item to an operation, go back to the Material item overview by choosing Back. Save your changes in the BOM.

Note

If you save your changes on the operation overview of the routing, you terminate BOM processing and you see the Change material BOM initial screen. Any changes you made in the BOM are still saved.
