Overview
When a Routing and associated Operations are extracted to a Work Order, the Work Order operation has a “Labor Grade” assigned to the Operation, but not a specific Manufacturing User. If there is the need to assign a specific Manufacturing User to a Routing Operation in a Work Center, this function is used.
Application
To assign a specific Manufacturing User to an Operation scheduled in a Work Center. For example, a specific individual (Manufacturing User) has a level of skill which must be used in the Work Center for this operation.
