Add Standard Operation

Explanation

Use this activity to copy standard operations. It is only possible to copy the standard operation information for estimate, not referred as for routings. Copy is the only option since reference would provide the possibility to influence the estimate cost calculation by updating the standard operation parameters. Changes of the operation parameters which have an impact on the cost calculation is only allowed from the estimate operation record itself.

Prerequisites

• An estimate exists with at least one item with an item type connected to the reference item type product.
• The version status of the product item cannot be Confirmed.
