Routings 
Routings
Use
In AFS routings are required not only as default for mass production and make-to-order production but also as a basis for the product costing (see
Definition of Bills of Material and Routings). Using routing in AFS, you can subdivide the material to be produced into categories, such as different qualities. This schedule line is important for the selection of the routing and the BOM when producing a material.
Features
The routing you use in AFS corresponds to the routing you used in the standard system.
You can either include certain categories in the routing or exclude selected categories from it. Depending on whether you include or exclude a certain category in a routing, the routing will only contain those procedures that are required for the production of materials in this category.
Categories
You can find further information on categories in the routing under
Bills of Materials.Selection Criteria for AFS Routings
First the system selects the routing using criteria from the SAP standard. The system first checks the quantity to be produced, the validity date and then the version of the production process referring to the material to be produced. Then the system selects the routing according to the categories.
The procedures are assigned to the production order according to the selected categories or the procedures are removed from the production order according to the non-selected categories (see
Production Orders). When maintaining several routings for the same categories, the system proposes the selection of these routings.AFS Restrictions
