Work order routings, identified by routing codes, specify the operations, or steps, required to manufacture an item. Set up routings and operations using the Routings/Work Centers module. Link routings to items using Item Master Maintenance (1.4.1) or Item Data Maintenance (1.4.3).
When a work order is created, the standard routing is copied into it. As work progresses, required changes can be made to this copy using Work Order Routing Maintenance (16.13.13). This way, what actually happens can be compared to the standard. Monitor work order operations using the Shop Floor Control module.

See Shop Floor Control.
Once the work order status is Exploded, Allocated, or Released, no more changes can be made to the routing.
If the operation-based yield calculation method is used for the item on the work order, any manual changes to the Yield field in the work order header have no effect on component requirements. When the work order is exploded, the system always uses the yield percentages from operations in the item’s routing to determine component quantities.
