Routing Attachments

HelpID: 519722001

Navigation: Cards >> Inventory >> Routing Attachments, or the Attachments Expansion Button on Routing Maintenance.

A Routing can have an unlimited number of attachments. If the PRINT box is marked, then attachments will print automatically when the Routing is printed.

Click the BINOCULARS to open an attachment.

In LeanMFG System Setup, if the “Create MO Routing” is marked, a “snapshot” will be created of the Routing when the Picklist is built and attached to the Manufacturing Order.

NOTE: Attachments marked to PRINT will be copied to the MO Routing with links to the original files. Attachments NOT marked to print will be copied, a new file created, and the path to the file will be updated to point to the NEW file. For example, if a new MO is created for 100XLG, and the MO Number is MO00123, the following will occur:

Primary Routing File MO Routing File
Attachment Name: QA

Path: C:\FILES\100XLGQA.XLSX

Print: not marked

Attachment Name: QA

Path: C:\FILES\MO00123100XLGQA.XLSX

Print: not marked

Attachment Name: Work Instructions

Path: C:\FILES\100XLGStdOp.DOCX

Print: marked

Attachment Name: Work Instructions

Path: C:\FILES\100XLGStdOp.DOCX

Print: marked

Marking the PRINT box tells the system that you will print a physical copy of the file, so when the MO Routing is created the attachment still points to the original file. The file will be printed and not edited.

When PRINT is NOT marked, it tells the system that you will be working with the file directly. For example, you may have created an Excel Spreadsheet to record in-process test results. When the MO is created a copy will be made of the original file, the “template”, and renamed to include the MO Number.
