Sap what is routing

The routing being created must not have itself as a nested routing otherwise the SFC number will be in a continuous loop. Returning from a nested routing differs from returning from a pulled Special routing or from a Disposition routing.

The following table describes the differences from the standard return:. Treated as Return to Next Step. Returns to steps immediately before the original step where the SFC number has already been processed.

Under rare conditions, this may be multiple steps. For example, when the routing has 2 or more paths to the original step and the SFC number has been processed on both of those paths. Returns to any steps before the original step where the SFC number has already been processed. For more information, see Layering Routings.

In addition to the linear steps on a routing, you need to indicate where units go when exceptions occur, such as failing a test step on a routing. This situation creates the possibility of multiple next steps at a point on the routing.

Nonconformance Disposition. Following is a Special routing named PMR. Prerequisites The following data already exists in the system: If you want to maintain the routing with history : The corresponding change master record. Enter the relevant data on the initial screen. Activity The following screen is displayed. Create Routing Header overview Continue as in Step 4. We cannot use this indicator without the scheduling indicator activated.

This indicator is only activated when an inspection needs to be done after this operation and its results are needed to be recorded. For example, before furnace operation, analyze charge material composition and record it against that operation using inspection characteristics.

Automatic goods movement goods receipt of an assembly will be posted when this operation is confirmed. Generally, this indicator will be assigned to the final operation.

When shop floor paper is printed from a production order, the system uses this indicator to determine whether this operation need to be included in a time ticket or not. If this indicator is activated, the system identifies that rework can be occur in this operation, so that automatic calculation of yield quantity at the time confirmation will not happen. For the rework quantity entered in operation no automatic GR will happen even though we activate automatic goods receipt indicator.

It must be posted manually. These indicators are considered by the system when order is confirmed and printing is triggered at the of order release. Operations with the relevant indicators will be printed at the shop floor. Cost for this operation will be calculated using operation details, order quantity and costing formula from a work center.

In this case, we have to activate this indicator, so that the system will generate a purchase requisition for this operation. Operation with external processing will be scheduled based on lead time entered in the operation. If you want the system to ignore lead time and schedule as per standard values setup, machine and labor time , activate schedule external operation indicator. When a milestone confirmation is selected, the system will confirm the preceding operations automatically.

If confirmation required is selected, an operator will have to confirm the operation and enter the relevant operation details. We can also restrict a user not to enter operation details at the time of confirmation.

Usage and Status. Usage defines for which applications the routing can be used. For example, Production or Plant Maintenance or all applications, etc. Status can be active and inactive.

So that it cannot be used by the system until it is marked as active. Validity This is start date and end dates for the routing which define its validity period. We have three sequences in SAP PP routing: Standard sequences Parallel sequences Alternate sequences Production process operations which are carried out one after another are defined in the sequence.
