Creating a Routing
Trigger:

Concept
A routing defines the step-by-step operations you perform to manufacture a product. Each routing
can have any number of operations. For each operation you specify a department that determines
the resources you can use for that operation. A primary routing is the list of operations most
frequently performed to build a product. You can define one primary routing and many alternate
routings for an item. When you define a new primary routing, you specify only the item (no
alternate name) and you can assign a routing revision. For example, you can define a routing for
an item that includes two operations such as an assembly and a testing operation. You typically
build your product with these operations, so you define this routing as the primary routing for the
item.

The Routings page enables you to define the operations, the sequence to perform them, and the
resources required at each operation for each routing. You can define either a primary or an
alternate routing.

The prerequisites to create a routing are:

• You must define at least one department before you create a routing.
• BOM Allowed must be set to Yes for the item you are creating a routing for.

In this topic, you will create a primary routing.

13. The item sequence indicates the sequence of the item on the bill. It is used to sort
components on reports and when choosing options from a model bill in Oracle
Order Management.

This defaults to the value of the highest existing component item sequence plus the
value of the BOM: Component Item Sequence Increment profile option. If this
profile option is not set, the default is 10. You can override or change this
number.

33. Effectivity Date is the first date and time the component or operation becomes
effective.

For components, the effective date is the first day a component becomes effective
for a bill.

For routings, it is the first day an operation becomes effective in a routing.

Click the Date Effectivity tab.

45. The yield is the percentage of the component that survives the manufacturing
process.

A yield factor of 0.90 means that only 90% of the usage quantity of the component
on a bill actually survives to be incorporated into the finished assembly.

To compensate for the expected gain or loss, any function that explodes a bill of
material increases or decreases the material requirements for the component, based
on the yield.

Click the Operation Yield tab.
