   </Header>
   <GeneralSection>
      <Paragraph>A <Emphasis>master
		routing</Emphasis> identifies a collection of operations that must be carried
		out. You can link one or more master routings to an item. For example, Repair
		and Overhaul are both master routings that you can apply to a machine.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>A <Emphasis>routing
		option</Emphasis> is a further specification of a master routing. For example,
		Repair after 2000 machine hours and 3000 machine hours.</Paragraph>
      <List>
         <ListIntro>The routing option consists of a set of operations (defined
		  in the master routing) that you can carry out on an item. Each operation is:</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>Based on a reference
		  activity.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Identified by a unique
		  sequence number.</ListItem>
      </List>
      <Paragraph>The operations that are
		added to a routing option must have the same characteristics, for example, the
		same work center.</Paragraph>
      <ExampleSection>
         <SectionTitle>Example</SectionTitle>
         <Paragraph>You define master
		  routing MR1 to overhaul machine 1. You want to overhaul machine 1 after 600
		  machine hours, 1000 machine hours, and 2000 machine hours. Routing option 1 is
		  created for the operations that must be carried out after 600 machine hours,
		  Routing option 2 for the operations that must be carried out after 1000 machine
		  hours, and routing option 3 for the operations that must be carried out after
		  2000 machine hours.</Paragraph>
         <Paragraph>You can now create a <Emphasis>routing matrix</Emphasis> for the master routing. In this matrix, you
		  can store the set of operations that must be carried out for each routing
		  option.</Paragraph>
         <Paragraph>The operations that
		  are defined for master routing MR1 are:</Paragraph>
