Add routing step that have different location to a Production Order

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 428
As all Production Orders have locations code set on them and all the routing operations will take on the location code of that Production order, can you change a single routing operation to have a different location code (different work centre because it is physically in a different location). Is there any problem posting on such an operation?
For example, say I have a paint operation that is performed in a different location to all the other operations. Can the operation location be modified by manually changing to the work centre that has the different location code.
(It is understood that any components required for that operation are available at the different (paint) location).
I have the same question (0)

    You can assign the Location on the Work Center itself, as long as the Location is Bin Mandatory (even a single Bin works).  Then when a Production Order is created, any Operation using that Work Center will have the Work Center's Location assigned.  Material (components) linked to the Operation with the Routing Link Code should also have the Location assigned.
     
    If this is a Sub-Contracted Operation, the same information applies but the Work Center will have a Vendor assigned.
