Easily associate items to operations

Previously, it took several clicks to open the routing and add or adjust required items. It was clunky and easy to make mistakes.

We’ve added a new feature that lets you associate items to operations, right inside the BOM & Routing editor. This lets you:

• (A) Add an operation association directly from the BOM.
• (B) Unlink an item from an operation.
• Add an item to the BOM, go into the routing, and see those items listed as options to set as required for an operation.

We’ve also made updates to establish closer connections between items and operations.

Previously, you could end up in a situation where the BOM and required items for the operation did not match. If you delete an item from the BOM, the item will delete from the required items within the routing as well (and vice versa).

(C) We’ve added an indicator for the operation an item is associated with to make this connection clear and help avoid this mistake.
