Maintenance - Rail Routing Code
RAIL1

SCREEN OVERVIEW

The RAIL1 screen is used to maintain a "file" of Rail Routings.  If the Outside Processor (OP) ships items by rail, Rail Routings are required.  The code and description should conform to standard terminology.  The Steel Producer should provide some input on this.  The codes entered here are displayed when the F9 key is used in Material Transfer.  Both the code and description are printed on shipping papers and both also are part of the EDI data sent back to the SP at shipment time. 

The key for a Rail Routing is the Steel Producer Company (SP) and the Routing Code.  This is only code in the system linked to the SP Corporation.  Every other code is either keyed to the SP plant or the OP.

SCREEN OPTIONS

Search for a Rail Routing:  The search should be done first.  To retrieve data for a Rail Routing, type in the code.  Click the "Search" button.  If it exists, the system will display the Routing Description.  If the code is not in the system, a message will display at the top.  If the code is found, the "Update" and "Delete" buttons are now available at the bottom of the screen.

Modify a Rail Routing:  If the Routing is found as a result of the search, the Routing Description text can be changed by overwriting the original data.  If the OP user makes a mistake or gets distracted while changing the name, click the "Reset" button.  This restores the description to the original value.  Once entered, the data is saved by clicking the "Update" button.  A confirmation message should be displayed at the top.

Delete a Rail Routing:  If the Routing is found as a result of the search, it may be deleted by clicking  the "Delete" button.  A confirmation box is displayed to prevent unwanted deletes.  A confirmation message should be displayed at the top.

Create a New Rail Routing:  To create a new Rail Routing, enter the code and description text.  Click the "Create" button to save.  A confirmation message should appear at the top.  Note: Rail Routings should be setup with the advice of the SP.
