Report production for dynamic routing jobs

Since a dynamic routing job is similar to any other job, production for it is reported in the same way. So a dynamic routing reason can be used to report production from a dynamic routing job. What this means is that the rework itself requires rework. Other than any limitation imposed by the parameter Max Dynamic Routes, there is no limit to the number of times rework can be initiated from other rework.

If the dynamic routing parameter Dynamic Routing is a separate WO from original is set to Yes, each rework of a rework will cause a new dynamic routing work order to be created (unless the dynamic routing parameter Combine dynamic routing from the same operations of different work orders is set to Yes and the new rework can be accommodated within an existing dynamic routing work order).

However, if the dynamic routing parameter Dynamic Routing is a separate WO from original is set to No, and all rework is being done in the original work order, then the necessity for having the Use label in dynamic routing work order or operation IDs parameter set to Yes becomes apparent, if any of the dynamic routing processes could be used more than once. Otherwise, because the operation IDs in the dynamic routing process are predefined, they would instantiate dynamic routing jobs with the same operation IDs every time, even though the operations are not really doing the same thing and need to be kept separate from one another.

There is one special case to be aware of when the dynamic routing parameter Dynamic Routing is a separate WO from original is set to No. If a second dynamic route is initiated from the last job of a dynamic route (e.g., because the original reworking of the material caused other problems that require a second type of rework), once the second dynamic route is finished, material is returned to the same job in the original work order as the first dynamic route would have returned it. This is because there are no remaining jobs in the first dynamic route to which to return the material.
