Title: Creating Staging Work Centers
Post by bssSam on 08/13/08 at 07:56:55

Good Morning All,

I am currently in the process of starting up a routing program for my company. I have come a crossed something that I need some advice. When creating work centers in the RO- module it seems to only allow me to set ops for 5 WC's at once per unit involved in the routing (op 10-50). Is there any way to allow for more WC's to be set in the ops list because we want to have traceability while a unit is in the staging area of a department. For example, WC - Test Department (currently being tested) / WC - Test Department Staging Area (awaiting testing).

Thank you,
Brad Schoolcraft

Not sure why you think you can only have 5. The sequence number is a 3 digit number, so you can have up to 999 sequences per part. You can set up as many different work centers as you need in RO-C.

I have created 10 WC's (set to Parent) and when I enter a routing for a part and go to specify the sequence it only pulls up 5 of the 10 in the OPs list. Some option that I'm missing here? I tried comparing the ones on my sequence list to the ones i have created and they are identical.

You don't have to pull the sequences from the Operation Templates (which is what you are looking at in the list), you can manually enter whatever you want. You can also create more templates in RO-I.
