A control key uses the following keys and indicators to determine how an operation or a sub-operation is to be processed in a task list. Examples of such keys and indictors are:

Scheduling :If you set this indicator, the system carries out scheduling for an operation or it determines the earliest or latest dates for a sub-operation. If you do not set this indicator, the system does not schedule the operation or sub-operation, the system automatically sets the duration to zero.

Capacity planning : If you set this indicator, the system creates capacity requirement records for the operation or sub-operation. If you set this indicator for a control key, you must also set the scheduling indicator.

Note Note

The system only creates capacity requirements if you have set the capacity planning indicator and maintained the corresponding formulas .

End of the note.

Costing indicator : Use this indicator to specify whether the operation or the sub-operation should be costed.

Confirmation : Use this indicator to specify whether and how the operation or sub-operation should be confirmed.

Time tickets : Use this indicator to specify that time tickets are printed for the operation or sub-operation.

Print operation : Use this indicator to specify that shop papers are printed for the operation or sub-operation.

External processing : Use this indicator to specify that the operation or sub-operation is to be performed by a third party. In this case, a purchase requisition is generated during order creation.

The control key is defined in Customizing for the Work center or for the Routing .
