MRP Routing

This module lets you build a library of standard manufacturing operations and group them into routings, so you do not have to retype the same work center steps on every bill of materials.

• Under Manufacturing > Bills of Materials you get a new "Routings" menu where you create a routing with a reference (auto-numbered as RO/00001), a name, a description and a list of operations.
• Under Manufacturing > Configuration you get a "Template Operations" menu where each template operation stores the work center, sequence, duration settings and worksheet (PDF, Google Slide or text).
• On a bill of materials form, a new "Predefined Operations" field lets you pick a routing; the operations of that routing are then copied into the bill of materials operations.
• Each copied operation keeps a link to its template and an "On template change?" setting (Do nothing or Sync). When set to Sync, editing the template updates the operations on the bill of materials automatically; deleting a template removes its synced operations.
• Changing the operations list of a routing also adds or removes the matching operations on every bill of materials that uses that routing.

Routings and template operations are company-specific, can be archived, and are read-only for regular manufacturing users while manufacturing managers can create and edit them.
