Routings

You use this program to capture and maintain bill of material routings required within the system.

BOM Route Details

Field Description
Route This indicates the route code you entered on the toolbar.
Description Indicates the name associated with the route. This assists you in verifying that the correct route has been entered and can also be printed on reports.
Password Assign a password to each of the routings (except the standard route - 0) to restrict the unauthorized usage of a particular route when adding a job in Work in Progress where an alternate routing is selected.
ECC controlled Indicates the route is available for use by the Engineering Change Control system.

Although all routes in Bill of Materials default to being ECC-controlled, you can maintain any of the routes (except route 0) and switch off ECC control for the route.

Switching off ECC control will allow a bill of material to be added for an ECC-controlled item for that route, even though structures and routing maintenance has not been enabled for the stock code by means of an engineering change order. In addition, if you import a structure for this route then the current revison/release is used regardless of the revision/release entered on the import file.
Available for jobs Enables jobs to be added using this route and job postings to be performed for this route.

Notes and warnings

Deletion considerations

  • You cannot delete a route once a route has been added as it is not easy to determine whether a route is linked to any bill of materials or job (e.g. it could be linked to one or more BOM structures, BOM routings, ECC structures, ECC routings, live jobs, snapshot jobs, suggested jobs or warehouse control).

Inserting Application Help

You would typically follow this procedure to display help for the current program in a customized pane that can be pinned to the program window.

Information includes step-by-step instructions for the various functions available within the program, including a brief overview of what the program does, what setup options are required and how to personalize the program.

  1. Open the program for which you want to insert application help into a customized pane.

    This functionality is only available for a program that has panes.

  2. Right-click any form field.

    You can also click the triangle menu icon that appears in the title area of a pane.

  3. Select Insert Application Help from the context-sensitive menu.

    The application help appears in a pane within your program. You can reposition the pane using the docking stickers or pin it to the program window.

Removing the Application Help pane

If you no longer want to display application help in a pane for your current program, you can simply remove it.

  1. Select the Close icon in the right-hand corner of the application help pane.

  2. Confirm that you want to delete the pane.
