Deepak,

Workcenters are decided by Machine wise, Tools are defined as PRT(Production Resource Tools) in SAP.

In the routing for the product we use the workcenter(machine) and also assign the relevant PRT to the operation.

Im agreed with your point but there is only one operation that's why product can be produced at different machine simultaenously by multiple tools . Then how the routing should be define . Moreover product can be produced at any work center so what how many routing is to be prepared with production versions and how the system will know that which production version is to be captured at a time.

Please clear this problem.

Hi Deepak sharma.

since u have Number of workcenters for same product, create routing for each work center, and create prod versions equal number of workcenters.

u can select the prodution version manually, while cerating production order manaully.

There should be a capacity planning for your work center.

Have i tried to understand ur problem,if not please come back with some examples.

You have to create diff Prod versions for each Workcentres and at the time of creating PO,you can manually select the desired prod version.

Thanks for your inputs but I want the production orders from MRP by converting it from planned order then can system read that which routing is to be captured.

Can I put routing at time of partial conversion of planned orders?

I would like to describe you with one example.

Suppose there is one product named 'X'. This X product has 20 tools and we have 176 press machine. Now this 20 tools of product 'X' can be loaded at any work center among 176 simultaenously. Now how many routing should I make. I can not dedicate the press for these 20 tools.In one press I can load 4 tools simultaenously.

I think you are now clear with my problem.

Deepak
