Use purchase routings to set up standard phases for the purchasing process, in order to make it easier for you to track this process. A routing describes the full path to be followed to complete the purchasing process. This path is composed of a number of consecutive statuses that are registered on the underlying routing lines. In order to be able to create a purchase routing, you should first define a number of purchase statuses.
Note: Purchase routings only apply to parts, and not to external operations or equipment.
