Re: Roll up routing times for one or multiple workcenters.

Jenny,
What kind of workcenter loading codes are you using? These control scheduling 
and the consumption of capacity per workcenter. Sounds like your engineer is 
confusing this with the cost loading code which has no impact on scheduling and 
capacity.

One other alternative to consider, if you have MPS ------ Bill of resources. It 
is limited to planning, not execution.

Regards, Larry
