Routing

Routing refers to the sequence of operations and workstations required to manufacture a product. It defines the steps or processes, the order in which they occur, and the workstations involved. Routing helps in organizing production and ensuring that every step is followed in the correct order.

To access the Routing list, go to:

Home > Manufacturing > Bill of Materials > Routing
