| Task Relationship - Process Variables (tirou0116m000) |  |
| Use this session to link process variables to a task relationship. The task relationship process variables apply to a specific combination of a task, a machine, and/or a work center. Note You can define task relationships in the Task Relationships (tirou0104m000) session. Default value The process variables defined in this session, are used as defaults in the Operation (Step) - Process Variables (tirou1111m000) session. The process variables are defaulted to the Operation (Step) - Process Variables (tirou1111m000) session when the operation makes use of a task relationship to which process variables are linked in the current session. Even if the process variables are by default linked to an operation in the Operation (Step) - Process Variables (tirou1111m000) session, you can still link the process variables manually to an operation step in the Operation (Step) - Process Variables (tirou1111m000) session.

Fields | Description
Task | An activity to manufacture or repair an item. For example, sawing, drilling, or painting. A task is carried out on a work center, and can be related to a machine.
Work Center | A specific production area consisting of one or more people and/or machines with identical capabilities, that can be considered as one unit for purposes of the capacity requirement planning and detailed scheduling.
Machine | In ERP LN, a mechanical object on which operations can be carried out to produce items. Machines are linked to operation rates. The operation rate and the labor rate together form the basis for the actual costing of production orders.
Process Variable | A setting or an input value related to a machine, a tool, or to process quality that is relevant to carry out an operation or an operation step. For example, cutting depth, cutting speed, and temperature.
Mandatory | If this check box is selected, and the process variable is defaulted to an operation in the Operation (Step) - Process Variables (tirou1111m000) session, the process variable cannot be removed from the operation's microrouting. The process variable must remain linked to at least one operation step or directly to the operation. Note With this check box, you can prevent a specific process variable being completely removed from a microrouting.
