Explain the step how to create routing?

By : Vishal Patil

You have to proceeds following steps:

 1) CA01 - Create routing 

     First screen =  Material on which you have to create a routing
                           Plant
     Second screen =  Usage 1 if you create routing for production purpose.
                               Status 4 release general 
                               Enter
 2) Now go on to application tool bar and select operation 
     Here you have to enter work center, control key and description
     For eg.      w/c 1    plant    pp01      description
                     w/c 2    plant    pp01      description
                                 plant    pp99      goods reciepts
 3) Now select the component allocation
     Select the material here and click on to the new assignemnt for assign the
operation seqence on to the material.

 4)  SAVE

Now routing is create with routing group number .

What is meant by routing?

Routing is nothing but your Process Plan.

A routing is a description of which operations (process steps) have to be carried out

and in which order to produce a material (product). As well as information about
the operations and the order in which they are carried out, a routing also contains
details about the work centers at which they are carried out as well as about the
required production resources and tools (includes jigs and fixtures). Standard
values for the execution of individual operations are also saved in routings.

Routings (generic) consist of the following objects:

- Routing 
- Rate routing 
- Reference operation set 
- Reference rate routing

Routings enable you to plan the production of materials (products)

In a routing you plan

- The operations (work steps) to be carried out during production

- The activities to be performed in the operations as a basis for determining dates,

capacity requirements, and costs

- The use of materials during production

- The use of work centers

- The quality checks to be carried out during production

Creating a Routing
Use
You use this procedure to create a completely new routing.

If a routing already exists in your system with similar data, you can copy this data into the
new routing. In this case use the procedure Creating Routings by Copying

Prerequisites
The following data already exists in the system:

 If you want to maintain the routing with history: The corresponding change master
record.
 If you want to link the routing with a revision level: The relevant revision level of the
material to be produced.

Procedure
1. In the SAP menu choose Logistics Production Master data Routings and then
Routings Routing (or other task list type) Create. Note: In the following procedure the
task list type Routing is referred to, primarily in menu paths. The same paths are also
valid for the other task list types (reference operation sets, rate routings and reference
rate routings). If you want to maintain such an object choose the <task list type>
instead of Routing.
2. Enter the relevant data on the initial screen.
3. Choose Enter.

The screen that then appears depends on whether you are creating a new group or
adding to an existing group.

Activity The following screen is displayed.

Create group Create Routing Header Details

Continue as in Step 5.
Add to group Create Routing Header overview

Continue as in Step 4.

4. Choose Edit New entries.

5. Enter the data on the Header Details screen.
6. Choose Goto Operation overview. The Operation Overview screen appears.
7. Create operations and sub-operations for your routing.
8.        8.       Save the routing.
