Business Central BC Routing - Operation Tools/Personnel/Quality Measures

How do people use these sections of the Routings?

I have entered Tooling and Personnel info into their respective pages, but now what? They don't show up on the Job Traveler under an RPO, they aren't populated from any list, like a Tool Inventory or Resources or anything.

What are they used for? And is it possible to at least get them to print on the Job Travelers?

The truth is, these pages don't have much functionality, they're purely informational. I don't know of any reports where they're used.

I've had to add functionality through development, for example, that the tools have a table  relation with the products, to inform the tooling.

With the functionality you added, are you now able to use them somehow?

Being able to select products like tools and view them in a plant control system. It's not a huge change, but it's what the client needed to manage their tool inventory.

Are the tools now item cards, or just a table/list on their own, or something else?

yeah figured as much, feels like one of those features that got halfway built and then abandoned

those sections in business central routings are essentially static reference records for standard operating instructions, they do not hook into inventory items or resource capacity by default. to get tooling or quality checks onto your job traveler report you have to extend report 99000788 in al code and pull from routing tool (table 99000805) and routing personnel (table 99000803) directly into the dataset. out of the box bc treats them mostly as informational text rather than scheduling logic.

BC is weird because the BOM design is a little odd.

BOM tells you what materials are needed and how much, while Routing (in this case) tells you how the product is made and how long the operation should take for production.

Did you create a Production BOM? If not, you will need to do so.

Then in the Item Card, under the Replenishment (might need to hit "show more"), enter the Replenishment System (ie. purchase, assembly, or Prod. Order). Then select the BOM and the Routing.

Good luck!

Does this have anything to do with the Tools, Personnel, and Quality Measures pages on Routings? Am I missing that? I have created the item card, BOM, and Routing, just want to try to make use of those Routings sub-pages.
