Revising a Route

About Revising a Route

After you release or archive a route, you cannot modify it. However, if you want to update the route (for example, remove an operation or change the BOM formulation), you can revise it. The following conditions apply when you revise a route:
  • You can revise a route that is in the released or archived state.
  • You cannot revise a route in the draft state.
  • You can revise only the latest version of a route.

Revise a Route

Procedure

  1. In the Route Management page, perform one of the following tasks:
    • If you want to revise a released route, select Released.
    • If you want to revise an archived route, select Archived.
  2. Select the route that you want to revise.
    The View Route page appears.
  3. Select , and then select Revision.

    Note: The name, description, production line, material, and BOM formulation are copied from the latest revision of the route. You cannot modify these details. You can add, modify, or remove an operation. You can also assign a different BOM item, equipment, property group, or document.
  4. Select Next.
    The Edit Route page appears. The operations, resources, BOM items, properties, and documents linked to the route are the same as that of the previous version of the route.
  5. As needed, add, modify, or remove operations, or assign a different BOM item, property, or document.
  6. Select Save.
