Routing - Create
Use this process when a new routing for material is needed.
A routing is a description of which operations (process steps) and the order in which they have to be
carried out to produce a material (item). In addition to the information about the operations and their order,
a routing also contains details about the work centers where the work is to be performed as well as any
required production specifications and tooling (ie text and fixturing). Standard values for the execution of
individual operations are also saved in routings.
