Understand how a dynamic routing process is selected

The effect of the dynamic routing usage entry settings is to have the system select the correct dynamic routing process for a given situation. Only one dynamic routing process should be used to instantiate jobs for rework in response to a single production transaction. However, it is possible for one situation to fit as many as four dynamic routing processes, as shown in the following example dynamic routing usage entries.

In this example, if production was reported from a job with a routing code of FG Production using a reason code of Gouged, all four of these dynamic routing usage entries would be applicable. To choose just one, two rules are applied:

• If multiple dynamic routes apply in a given situation, the dynamic routing usage entry for which the most conditions are specified is used.

• A dynamic routing usage entry that specifies a process but not an item is used instead of a dynamic routing usage entry that specifies an item but not a process, if both apply in a given situation.

So, in this example, Gouge repair 4 would be used, because it was the most conditions specified—four—of the possible choices.

If process Gouge repair 4 did not exist, Gouge repair 3 would be used instead. This is because even though both it and Gouge repair 2 had three conditions specified, the second rule says that the one specifying a process but not an item is used. In this case, that is the Gouge repair 3 entry.
