RO-I  Enter Operation Templates

Purpose of Program

Use this program to set up templates for commonly used operations.  The template record is identical to the routing record for each routing sequence, allowing you to set up default values for all possible fields.  Templates can be copied into operations individually or as a group in sequence order.  See RO-A  Enter Routings for details on copying templates into sequences.

General Program Operation

Enter a template number in the Template No field.  This will represent the standard operation number for this operation.  Select an operation Type from a pop-up window (A ?Alternate Operation; L ?Labor; P ?Outside Processing).

Enter a user-defined Class code if you wish.  This code is used as a filter on operation template lookups and lets you group together similar templates.

Set up the template exactly the way you would a routing.  The only difference is that a template is not for a specific finished good or subassembly, but rather a generic operation that could be used on many products or assemblies.  See RO-A  Enter Routings for field explanations.

Click on the Notes button (or press <PgDn>) to get to the Notes screen and click on the Prev button (or press <PgUp>) from that screen to get back to the first screen.

Time Types

Access to this setting is controlled by DEF-I Routings Defaults (Evo-ERP) setting for "Enable Template Time Types"  Leave blank or enter F if this sequence is a flat time per part Run time plus possible Setup time.  Enter "L" if this sequence time is determined by the number of Line Items on the BOM and independent of the Work Order quantity (such as a sequence to kit the job in the stockroom) and then enter the time per line item in the decimal teie/part field.  When entering a sequence in RO-A  Enter Routings  based on this template, the program will calculate the total time using the number of lines entered in RO-A and this multiplier and save it as Setup time.  Enter "C" if the sequence time is a function of the number of components being processed (such as a soldering operation) and enter the time per component in the decimal time field and the RO-A program will multiply the number of components entered in RO-A by the factor entered in this template and save the result as Run time.
