| # Routing Parameters (tirou0100m000) Use this session to: View historical parameter settings in the overview session. Modify current parameter settings in the details session. The Routing Parameters (tirou0100m000) overview session contains: A history list of parameter sets and their effective dates The current parameter set, at the top of the list (without an effective date) To view historical settings, double-click one of the historical parameter sets. To view or change the current parameter settings, double-click the set without an effective date that appears at the top of the list. The Routing Parameters (tirou0100m000) details session starts. If you make the required changes in the details session and save the new parameter set, LN performs the following actions: Adds the new set to the history list Updates the current set (at the top of the list) Effective Date The date and time that the parameters were changed. The parameters are valid up to the effective date of a more recent parameter setting. The current set has no effective date. Description The description of the parameter set. The default is the description of the previous parameter set, so to avoid confusion you must always delete this and add a new text. Routing Details Default Routing The default routing in this field is selected by LN if: The routing is independent of the order quantity. No routing is defined for the required quantity. Related topics Order quantity dependent routings Production Rate Time Unit The unit of time in which the production rate is expressed. Related topics Calculating bottleneck work center and rate. Use Production Rates LN uses either an item's cycle time or the production rate to calculate the operation time. Depending on the value of this parameter, LN selects the value of the Cycle Time [Min] field or the Production Rate field (for example, in the Routing Operations (tirou1102m000) session). If this check box is selected, the value of the Production Rate field in the Routing Operations (tirou1102m000) session is used to calculate the operation time. If this check box is cleared, the value of the Cycle Time [Min] field in the Routing Operations (tirou1102m000) is used to calculate the operation time. The Production Rate field in the Routing Operations (tirou1102m000) session is disabled. Scrap Quantity and Yield on Operation If this check box is selected, you can define the scrap quantity and the yield on operation level. If this check box is cleared, there is no scrap and yield defined on operation level. This means that for each operation: scrap = 0 yield = 100 Related topics Scrap and yield Defining scrap and yield Update Tools and Process Variables If this check box is selected, tools and process variable are updated when tasks, work centers or machines are changed in the Routing Operations (tirou1102m000) session. Note The parameter is only active when the operation does not have steps and a task relationship is present for a new combination of task, work center and machine. Allow Parallel Operations in Routing If this check box is selected, you can define network routings. A network routing has parallel operations. If this check box is cleared, the Next Operation fields in the Routing Operations (tirou1102m000) and Generic Routing (tipcf3120m000) sessions are hidden. Related topics Network routings Transfer Batch Method For efficiency reasons, it can be necessary to start work on a routing operation before the preceding operation is finished. The time you can start work on the operation is determined by the amount of items that is already finished on the preceding operation. This amount can be expressed in terms of an item quantity (transfer batch quantity), or as a percentage of items (transfer batch percentage). The selected transfer batch method, Quantity or Percentage, determines whether you have to deal with a transfer batch quantity or a transfer batch percentage. You can define or display transfer batch quantities/percentages in the following sessions: Routing Operations (tirou1102m000) Task Relationships (tirou0104m000) Configurable Item - Structure (tipcf3100m100), in the details session of the generic routing. Report Operations Completed (tisfc0130m000) details Production Planning (tisfc0110m000) details Allowed values Transfer Batch Method Repetitive Perc Setup Time for Rate Calculation This field is used in the rate calculation for RPT items. This field provides the percentage of the setup time of an operation that must be subtracted from the basic day capacity to calculate the number of hours available for production. Related topics Calculating bottleneck work center and rate. Calendar Details Used Calendar Type The calendar type that is used in Manufacturing. Related topics Calendars in Manufacturing Default Availability Type The calendar's availability type. A calendar can be linked to many availability types. A specific combination of a calendar code and an availability type determines the calendar lines. The availability type in this field is used to select the calendar code of the calendar type that is defined in the Used Calendar Type field. Related topics Calendars in Manufacturing Kanban Details Label Layout If you use Kanban labels to trigger supply on the shop floor, the label layout entered in this field determines the format of the labels. You can define the use of kanban labels in the Print Kanban Labels (tirou2402m000) session.
