BPCS/LX Tip of the Week: Product Routing
		
		
		Defining the Product Routing first requires the items to be setup in the Item Master file. Other master files also need to be defined prior to creating the routing.
These include:
 - The Facility defined with a SYS program
 
 - The Warehouses defined with an INV program
 
 - Locations defined with an INV program
 
 - The Machines (required if using capacity planning or an MES interface) defined with an MDM program
 
After the above data is set up, the Department file and Work Center files can be setup in MDM. Now you are ready to define a product route.
