| Overview |
BOM routing sequences/steps represent specific actions that need to be executed for manufacturing, test, and/or assembly purposes.
BOM routings can contain an unlimited number of sequences.
Each sequence can include items from the bill of material that are used/consumed for that particular step.
Sequences/Steps can be grouped under "Operations" for intuitive sectioning, easy navigation, and hierarchical representation.
The Operation usually defines a specific manufacturing, assembly, or test stage.
| Routing structure: |
| • Operation 1 |
| |
» Sequence 1 |
| |
... |
| |
» Sequence N |

Once an operation is selected, the Sequences list will display the current sequences assigned to that operation.
For users with editing permissions, the toolbar will contain functions for adding and editing operations.
Users with editing permissions will also have an Actions column for modifying individual operations.
Sequences can be assigned a machine/area name/identifier and times fields (Queue, Setup, Machine, Labor, Move, and Variable).
Time fields can be used to estimate throughput and overall processing times.
The Sequences list will display all general information and custom fields as well as the time and machine fields.
Users can show/hide the time fields by checking/unchecking the option.
The Sequences list contains a hyperlink in the Sequence (name) column.
Clicking the hyperlink will allow you to view and modify the BOM items associated with the sequence.
