The location is set to DETROIT.
A production order was created for the F101850 item. The Location Code was set to DETROIT.
DETROIT is the location that is associated with the FRT_NUT_LINE Scheduler view.
In Scheduler, you can see that the production order is spread across 3 machine centers starting at 7am.
The production order is scheduled on the machine centers that were on the BF802STBKS routing.
To move the production order to an alternate route, the production order must be right-clicked, and then Alternate Routings selected.
Next, the BF802STBKS_2 routing can be selected, and then Select can be pressed.
All operations of the production order are now moved to the machine centers on the alternate routing.
