Manage Shop Floor Routings
Application component: Shop Floor Routing
App type: SAP GUI
Description:  With this app, you can create and manage version-controlled routings that are not dependent on time. A routing version determines the sequence of individual operations that are necessary to produce a product. It also contains information on where the work is performed, and the work center’s resources that will be consumed with all the necessary technical specifications such as the standard times, capacity requirements, and work instructions. You can also use operation activities that describe the production process in more detail. Once released, you can create a production version for the routing version and it can be used in production execution. A released routing version can no longer be changed. You can use this app if the role Production Engineer - Discrete Manufacturing (EME) or Production Engineer - Discrete Manufacturing (CAM) is assigned to your user. You can maintain shop floor routings using the SAP GUI transaction MSFR4 or using the SAP GUI for HTML version of the app in the fiori launchpad. 
Key features:    Search for specific routings in the entry screen based on various filters.   Create and manage variants to filter the routing versions displayed in the entry screen.   Create a new routing group and group counter from scratch or by copying an existing routing.   Create new routing versions as well as rework routings.   Change the description of a shop floor routing (group counter) in the process of creating a new routing version.   Create and manage workflow for the shop floor routing.   Create shop floor routings which are transferred to SAP ME for execution.   Create shop floor routings which are transferred to an SAP ERP system for planning.   Create routings for unitized products with effectivity, for configurable materials, or without MBOM assignment.   Create a new routing using a manufacturing snapshot which activates the availability of the PiP workspace in which you can process product manufacturing information (PMI) and manufacturing process definition (MPD) source files.   Maintain effectivity ranges at routing header level.   Use a wildcard (*) as the value of the effectivity parameters if you want all possible values to be applicable.   Set an effectivity filter to create a separate work environment for a limited effectivity range.   Compare routing versions with options to transfer data including routings with unitized parameter effectivity or routings with no MBOM assignment.   Assign a change record to a routing.   Enable a shop floor routing for flexible processing.   Copy and paste routing objects, setup a private copy templates folder that you can use for all routings and reuse objects that are available in a shared templates folder.   Use reference templates (with lifecycle management and where-used information) to facilitate routing creation and updates.   Plan the operations and operation activities to be carried out during production.   Define that an operation is to be performed by an external service provider.   Use any-order groups or simultaneous groups to structure the operation activities in the operations.   Perform component assignment to operation activities in the produce segment for the currently selected MBOM and unassign components.   Split BOM item quantities and assign to several operation activities (produce segment) of an operation.   View reference designator information if available for components with instances.   View manufacturing reference structure (MRS) information including MRS designators, if available.   View variable-size item data for components of the BOM item category, Variable-Size Item.   Assign negative component quantities to operation activities in a disassembly scenario (by-products).   SAP GUI only (transaction MSFR4): Display a 3D visual of the product structure and see exactly where the individual components are assembled.   Specify an assembly sequence for components that is relevant for execution.   Define a change alert count for operation activities.   Create interactive work instructions for operation activities in various languages. You can: Assign standard texts, create new 3D views and link them in the work instruction, link and reference inspection characteristics, components, and PRTs as well as add input fields for interactive data collection.    Create and delete inspection characteristics for operation activities in the produce segment.   Assign and unassign PRTs, documents, qualifications, and buyoffs to operation activities.   Specify that a PRT is registrable at the operation activity.   Display and add action handlers and their parameter values to operation activities.   Upgrade and release an MBOM version in the routing.   Use an extended message log to perform a consistency check before releasing the routing.   Create production versions when releasing a completed routing.   Set a released routing to obsolete and reset an obsolete routing back to released.   Create your own user-defined fields at header, operation, and operation activity level and pass these fields on to production execution. In addition, create user-defined fields for document attributes. User-defined fields are available in comparison mode and can be used for templates.
