RE: Routing Scenario

The part should be setup as "JIT" in the item master.

The first operation needs to be non-collectable in the route, the last
operation should be collectable.  You may want to add a final operation for
reporting production.   With just 2 ops you will have standard hours
backflush at the 1st and actual hours at the 2nd  operation.  It also helps
the person keying production to know what the last operation is on all shop
orders.  We for example, have the last operation as 999 routed to a dummy
workcenter.

For just one part, you can use JIT110 Override Location Maintenance to
specify the backflush location.

Production can be reported in either SFC650 or JIT600, depending on whether
you want to report by part number or by shop order number.

        Subject:  Routing Scenario

        Could someone on this list please offer some help on the following
scenario?


        All of our manufactured parts have only one operation.  

        We have discovered one part, however, that would be processed better
systemically if it had two operations.

        We want to do the first operation in Dept 1515, Workcenter 1100 and
the second operation in Dept 1513, Workcenter 1031.

        When we complete production on this part, we only want to complete
the last operation and have the first operation backflushed.

        Additionally, we want the component inventory relieved from WHS:
1W, Location:  515 (typical for Dept 1515).

        We want the finished product automatically stocked (when production
is entered) in WHS:  1R, Location 46011 (atypical of Dept 1513).

        How do we set the routing up to accomplish this?

        Are there any other parameters that we need to change?

        What is the best way to enter production? 


        Thank you for your assistance
