			<GeneralSection><SectionTitle>To link process variables to an operation</SectionTitle>
				<Paragraph>If you want to link process variables directly to operations for instruction purposes, you can select a record in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/rou/tirou1102m000" role="session">Routing Operations (tirou1102m000)</GUIRef> session, and on the <GUIRef href="" role="menu">Specific</GUIRef> menu, click <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/rou/tirou0104m000#task.relation.pvar" role="formcommand">Process Variables</GUIRef>. As a result, the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/rou/tirou1111m000" role="session">Operation (Step) - Process Variables (tirou1111m000)</GUIRef> session starts, in which you can link one or more process variables to an operation. These process variables are presented together with the relevant operation on production order documents.</Paragraph>
			</GeneralSection>
			<GeneralSection><SectionTitle>To link process variables to an operation step</SectionTitle>
				<Paragraph>If you want the shop floor operators to check process variables in a specified order for a specific operation, you must link each process variable to a separate operation step for the relevant operation. After you have defined operation steps for the operations in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/rou/tirou1105m000" role="session">Operation Steps (tirou1105m000)</GUIRef> session, you can link one or more process variables to each operation step. Select an operation step in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/rou/tirou1105m000" role="session">Operation Steps (tirou1105m000)</GUIRef> session for the correct item/routing/operation combination, and on the <GUIRef href="" role="menu">Specific</GUIRef> menu, click <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/rou/tirou1105m000#process.variables" role="formcommand">Process Variables</GUIRef> to start the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/rou/tirou1111m000" role="session">Operation (Step) - Process Variables (tirou1111m000)</GUIRef> session, in which you can link one or more process variables to an operation step.</Paragraph>
			</GeneralSection>
			<ExampleSection><SectionTitle>Example</SectionTitle>
				<Paragraph>If a specific operation requires some elements to be glued to another element, each at a specific temperature, the most efficient order for glueing can be set up by linking each process variable (in this case, the different temperatures) to a separate operation step.</Paragraph>
			</ExampleSection>
			<GeneralSection><SectionTitle>Default value</SectionTitle>
				<Paragraph>If the current session is started for an operation that makes use of a task relationship to which process variables are linked in the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/rou/tirou0116m000" role="session">Task Relationship - Process Variables (tirou0116m000)</Link> session, the process variables from the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/rou/tirou0116m000" role="session">Task Relationship - Process Variables (tirou0116m000)</GUIRef> session are defaulted to the current session.</Paragraph>
			</GeneralSection>
			<Paragraph>Even if process variables are linked by default to an operation in this session, you can still link process variables manually to an <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#000365" role="glossary">operation step</Link> in this session. As a result, you can link process variables to both an operation and to operation steps at the same time.</Paragraph>
