• Key Concepts: 
  Routing is a feature of the Manufacturing Execution (MFG-ME) component of SAP that allows users to define and manage the sequence of operations required to produce a product. It is used to define the steps, resources, and materials needed to complete a production process. It also allows users to track the progress of production and identify any potential bottlenecks or delays.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use routing in SAP MFG-ME, users must first create a routing template. This template defines the sequence of operations required to produce a product. Once the template is created, users can assign it to a specific product or production order. The routing template can then be used to track the progress of production and identify any potential bottlenecks or delays.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a routing template, it is important to consider the resources and materials needed for each step in the process. This will help ensure that production runs smoothly and efficiently. Additionally, it is important to review and update routing templates regularly to ensure that they are up-to-date with any changes in production processes or materials.
