• Key Concepts: 
  Production routing is a feature of SAP’s Digital Manufacturing Execution (MFG-DM-ME) component that allows users to define and manage the sequence of operations required to produce a product. It enables users to plan and control the production process, from raw material to finished product. Production routing also allows users to track the progress of each operation and monitor the overall production process. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use production routing, users must first define the sequence of operations required for each product. This includes specifying the resources needed for each operation, such as machines, tools, and personnel. Once the operations are defined, users can then create a production order that specifies the quantity of products to be produced and the start and end dates for each operation. The production order is then used to track the progress of each operation and monitor the overall production process. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a production order, it is important to ensure that all resources needed for each operation are available. This includes ensuring that machines are in good working condition and that personnel are available to perform the necessary tasks. Additionally, it is important to monitor the progress of each operation in order to ensure that the production process is running smoothly.
