Note: In order to add times in routing, the run and setup time must be selected in the Production Schedule Setup module.
 
Using run and setup times in the Production Schedule Setup module is preferred when there is great variability in the products produced and the setup and run rates in each work center.

Using the run and setup times in System Setup, under this module (Work Center Setup), is preferred when the product flow is uniform, the machine rates are well established, and the setup times are uniform regardless of the product.


Use of run and setup times, in the Production Schedule Setup module, is optional, unless either job costing or capacity planning modules are in use.
