The Add Item Routing window enables you to create new routings on the Graphical Line Designer Workbench. You have three options in creating routings. You can create a routing as an entirely new routing, copy it from another item or a template, or assign a common routing as a reference for the new routing.

   To add a new item routing:

1. Navigate to the Graphical Line Designer Workbench.

2. Select the top node on the tree hierarchy, Item Routings, and right-click with your mouse.

   The pop-up menu displays.

3. Choose New.

   The Add Item Routing window displays.

4. To create a new routing, select an item from the list of values in the Item field, and enter any appropriate information in the Alternate, Capable to Promise, Revision, and Date fields.

   See: Creating a Routing,

5. To create a routing by copying one from another item or a template, choose Copy From Item/Template in the Routing Source region.

   Your current Organization information displays.

   In the Item field, select the routing to be used as a template from the list of values. See: Creating Routings in the Template Routings View

   Enter the any appropriate information in the Alternate, Revision, Engineering Routing, and Date fields.

   Select a Copy Option, your choices are:

   • Current: operations effective on the revision date

   • Future and Current: includes current and all future operations

6. To create a routing from a common routing, choose Assign Common Routing.

   Any two items that are of the same bill type can share common bills and routings. See: Referencing Common Bills and Routings.

7. Select the routing you want to use from the list of values.

8. Optionally, you can choose Related Routings to view a list of the other routings that have been defined for this item on all the lines in this organization.

9. Choose OK to close the Related Routings window.

10. Choose OK to close the Add Item Routing window.

    The new routing appears at the bottom of the routings list on the tree hierarchy, and it is highlighted. If this is a new routing, the right pane canvas is blank. If the routing was created from a template or a common routing, the right pane displays the inherited routing information.
