Routing Processing Time Dependent on FG and Raw Characteristics

[Ahmedehab17]

Dears

I am trying to build a super routing for a variant configuration material depending on the raw material and the configurable material characteristics

for example

raw material thickness 1.8

Configurable material thickness 0.5

then Processing time in routing to have a value dependent on the difference between the thickness of Raw and Configurable Material

how to grab the Thickness characteristic  numerical value of the BOM item variant class (300) and the finished configurable class (300) Thickness Characteristic numerical value   in the Operation /Routing object dependency  ?

Hi Ahmed,

the characteristics should be available from the configuration, even if they are allocated in different classes.

With either $self, $parent or $root, you should be able to read their content.

What about the rule to determine the processing time from the difference between the characteristic values (here, 1.3)?

Is it something coming from a database custom table or from a variant table? Or, is it the result of a calculation?

Thanks and bye,

Flavio

Dear Ahmed,

As per Flavio, characteristics should be available from the configuration.

As per your example there should be two chars for recording the thickness and one for calculating the difference.

RAW_THICKNESS = 1.8

MAT_THICKNESS = 0.5

THICKNESS_DIFF - for calculating the diff.

Dependency for calculating the difference will be.

$SELF.THICKNESS_DIF = $ROOT.RAW_THICKNESS - $MAT_THICKNESS.

Based on the value of char THICKNESS_DIFF you can calculate processing time with the required business logic.

Thanks
