SIMG_CFMENUOLPAOPEB - Define routing selection

In this step, you define the selection IDs which identify the criteria for the automatic selection of routings.

The selection criteria are:

• routing type

• routing usage

• routing status

You can assign several combinations of these selection criteria to every selection ID, and specify a selection priority for each combination.

When selecting routings, the system searches for a routing which matches the selection criteria. If it cannot find a routing matching the criteria with the highest priority, it will continue to search using the criteria with the next highest priority, and so on.

1. Define the selection criteria and their priorities for the desired selection ID.
2. Save your routing selection criteria.

When computing resources, the system determines the selection ID according to the following criteria:

• plant

• order group

• order type

• production scheduler

See also Define scheduling levels.

However, flexible planning in SOP may be carried out on a combination of characteristic values for which a plant cannot be uniquely identified. Possible reasons for this are:

• "plant" is not a characteristic of the information structure

• you are planning at an aggregate level across multiple plants

Example

You plant all materials that belong to sales organization CENTRAL. These materials are managed in several different plants. You now wish to carry out resource leveling for this characteristic values combination.

If no one plant can be identified, the plant which the system uses to determine the selection ID is the plant defined in the Customizing step Set parameters for info structures and key figures. If no plant has been defined here, the selection ID is determined using the SOP plant defined in the Customizing step Set planning plant for SOP.

The system determines the selection ID by searching in the following order for these criteria:
