	<GeneralSection><Paragraph>A <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#000000000000036" role="glossary">work center</Link> usually consists of a number of machines and, mostly, more than one <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#000022" role="glossary">production order</Link> is executed at the same time in a work center. Usually more than one machine is available to perform a certain <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#Task.ti" role="glossary">task</Link>, or several tasks can be performed with one machine.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>This requires a lot of flexibility in the use of the available machinery, which is why you must be able to deviate from a standard <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#Routing.ti" role="glossary">routing</Link> to alternative routings, and to define situation dependent <Link href="/baanerp/ts/glossary/glossary#000404" role="glossary">operations</Link> in a specific routing.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>If the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/ipd/tiipd0101m000#tiipd001.oqdr" role="formfield">Order Qty-dependent Routing</GUIRef> check box in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/ipd/tiipd0101m000" role="session">Items - Production (tiipd0101m000)</GUIRef> session is selected, SSA ERP selects a routing based on the <Link href="/baanerp/td/glossary/glossary#000035" role="glossary">ordered quantity</Link>, that is, one of the quantity dependent routings you defined for the item in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/rou/tirou1101m000" role="session">Item - Routings (tirou1101m000)</GUIRef> session. Which routing SSA ERP selects is determined by the value you specified in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/sfc/tisfc0101s000#tisfc001.qrdr" role="formfield">Quantity Ordered</GUIRef> field in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/sfc/tisfc0501m000" role="session">Production Orders (tisfc0501m000)</GUIRef> session. In this situation, SSA ERP does not take into account material-routing relationships.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>If you do not select the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/ipd/tiipd0101m000#tiipd001.oqdr" role="formfield">Order Qty-dependent Routing</GUIRef> check box in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/ipd/tiipd0101m000" role="session">Items - Production (tiipd0101m000)</GUIRef> session, SSA ERP takes into account the routing that you defined in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/rou/tirou0100m000#tirou000.dfrt" role="formfield">Default Routing</GUIRef> field in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/rou/tirou0100m000" role="session">Routing Parameters (tirou0100m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph><GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp" role="package">Enterprise Planning</GUIRef> can take into account specific material-routing relationships during the order planning run, and creates planned orders based on the <Link href="/baanerp/tp/glossary/glossary#000342" role="glossary">routing operations</Link> linked to a specific BOM line of the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#MainItem.ti" role="glossary">main item</Link> in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/bom/tibom0140m000" role="session">BOM Line - Material-Routing Relationships (tibom0140m000)</GUIRef> session. In other words, the material-operation link in the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#BillOfMateri.ti" role="glossary">bill of material (BOM)</Link> becomes routing dependent. You can link multiple routings to a main item, and for each separate routing you can link a specific operation to the corresponding components in the BOM lines in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/bom/tibom0140m000" role="session">BOM Line - Material-Routing Relationships (tibom0140m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>Whether Enterprise Planning takes into account routing specific material/operation links depends on the following conditions: -You linked more than one routing to a main item in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/rou/tirou1101m000" role="session">Item - Routings (tirou1101m000)</GUIRef> session. -You set the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/bom/tibom1110m000#tibom010.opno" role="formfield">Operation</GUIRef> field of a specific BOM line in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/bom/tibom1110m000" role="session">Bill of Material (tibom1110m000)</GUIRef> session to 0, which means that the field is empty.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>If these conditions are met, and you selected the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/bom/tibom1110m000#tibom010.mrou" role="field">Material-Routing Relations</GUIRef> check box in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/bom/tibom1110m000" role="session">Bill of Material (tibom1110m000)</GUIRef> session, SSA ERP creates planned orders based on the routing operation that corresponds with a specific BOM line in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/bom/tibom0140m000" role="session">BOM Line - Material-Routing Relationships (tibom0140m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>If you did not select the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/bom/tibom1110m000#tibom010.mrou" role="field">Material-Routing Relations</GUIRef> check box in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/bom/tibom1110m000" role="session">Bill of Material (tibom1110m000)</GUIRef> session, SSA ERP plans orders for all the items listed on the corresponding BOM at the start date of the first operation of the routing.</Paragraph>
