Procedure documentation Changing Routing PP-SATST01  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Because of the design change to the product PP-SATST01 (saddle support), both the routing and the bill of material for this product (material replacement) have to be changed. Since the new material PP-ROHR02 (steel alloy tubing) is to be used, a new operation has to be inserted in the routing.

To call the routings menu, choose: Logistics ® Production ® Master data ® Routings.

To change a routing with reference to a change number:

  1. From the routings menu, choose Routing ® Change.
  2. You see the Change Routing: Initial Screen.

  3. Enter your data on the initial screen.
  4. - Enter the number of the material whose routing you want to change, and the plant.

    - If you do not know the group, you can choose one using the possible entries function or make no entry in this field.
    The system determines the routing or group on the basis of your entries for the material and plant.

    - Enter the number of the change master record (change number). This number identifies the change master record.

    If the BOM has not yet been processed with reference to the chosen change number, the system creates an object management record automatically, in accordance with the settings for the Bill of material object type in the change master.

    The valid-from date of the change master defines the key date for the change (in this example, October 1, 1996). All changes can be documented in the change master.

    Note

    If the material has been processed with this change number before, and revision level A was assigned to the processing status attained with this change, you can call the task list group with processing status A by entering the revision level. If you enter the value A in the Revision level field, the system determines the correct material master with its valid-from date.

    - In the Selection criteria dataset, enter any relevant data which may restrict the selection.

    - Confirm your entries.
    A message appears telling you which valid-from date is copied to the Key date field from the change master record.

    Confirm this message.

  5. The Change Routing: Operation Overview screen appears since there is only one task list group with one task list for the material PP-SATST01.
  6. To insert an operation, place the cursor on the line containing the operation before which you want to insert an additional operation.
  7. Choose Edit ® Insert line.
  8. On the operation overview, enter data to describe the operation in more detail. In the example, the operation is carried out at work center PP- CHR (chrome plating).
  9. If you want to maintain detail screens for the new operation, select the operation and choose Operation ® < operation detail screen>.
    Enter your operation data.
  10. Once you have made your change, save the routing by choosing Routing ® Save.

The initial screen apperas again, with the following message confirming the change:

<Task list type> was saved with group <group number> and material
<material number>

Note

Changes to other types of task list (for example, inspection plans or rate routings) are made in the same way.
