Route networks
Operations in a route must be attached to each other in a logical way to reflect the production process. Depending on the complexity of the production, this factor can result in a route network. For simple routes, where the operations are run sequentially, a route network isn't required.
However, complex networks are frequently needed to reflect the production environment. If so, you should construct routes that contain several operation branches that you can start independently.
To activate the parameter Route network, select Production control > Setup > Production control parameters > General tab and then select the Route network option in the Routes field group.
This approach allows you to manually set up the internal sequence of the production route. As a result, instead of building the route as a chain of operations in sequential order, where operation 10 goes on until the start of operation 20, which in turn continues until the start of operation 30, and so on, you must manually specify the operation that follows the ongoing one.
