ROUTING

A routing is an essential master data of the production process.  It   specifies the sequence of individual operations needed for the step-by-step   production of a finished product from source materials.  The routing           contains information about the work centers where the individual work     steps are carried out and information about tools and resources necessary       for production (production resources/tools). The routing also contains the

 planned times for carrying out the individual operations (standard values).

A routing will be maintained for each combination of a plant and material combination. Routings are used as a template for production orders as       well as a basis for product costing.
