PRT Usage - three work centers, 2 PRTs, how to make it work?

[Former Member]

Good day. First time poster here. I've looked for help and can't seem to find an answer to my question.

I have three work centers, lets call them 1 2 and 3.

I have 2 cells, lets call them A and B.

Cell A can run parts from work center 2 and 3.

Cell B can run parts from work center 1 and 3.

So a matrix of possible combinations would look like:

Cell A Cell B

WC 2 part WC 1 part

WC 2 part WC 3 part

WC 3 part WC 1 part

How do I best set this up? I'm more of an end-user working with a developer, and I know what I want (above), but I have no idea if even this is easily accomplished.

I will be glad to assign points for helpful answer. Thanks a bunch!

Hi,

Create Routing (ca01) & then enter the operations.

<b>Eg:Routing 1.</b>

<b>Cell A can run parts from work center 2 and 3.</b>

Opr WC PRT to be assigned

10 WC2 Cell A

20 WC3 Cell A

<b>Routing 2</b>

<b>Cell B can run parts from work center 1 and 3</b>

Opr WC PRT to be assigned

10 WC1 Cell B

20 WC3 Cell B

For the combinations you can create alternate routings & then create a production version (t.code c223), then during production order creation you can choose the appropriate routing.

create PRT with material type FHMI with PRT view.

Is there a way to do this without using production versions, which is something that noone here uses at all? (Forgive the followup question, but if I provide this as the solution, which I do not completely understand, I doubt it will be used as it should be used.)

Thanks!
