Work Order Routing

Press Routing in the WO Positions Detail header to see the operations assigned to this position. Each row is one work step in the production sequence, in the order it is carried out.

The list is the work order's own copy of the routing. It is exploded from the item's Routing when the position is created, and can be changed afterwards without affecting the item's master data.
