As we can use alternative materials, tools or resources, it would be usefull to have alternative operations. The main use would be to change from internal to external operations within a item structure.

  Hello,

  Current you can create inactive routing position
  Example:

  Internal routing position is active
  External routing position is not active

  If you want to switch
  - Disable internal routing position
  - activate external routing position

  For external routing position we've lot of more fields to administrate. 
  This don't make the usability simple, if you use the concept of alternative resources.

  Is this a solution, which you can use?

  It would be a solution if this operation (and it alternative) is used in one structure, but if we need to add the operation and the alternative operation to a bunch of structures, it is a repetitive task that should be performed individually in each structure.

  Yes, the item master data must be defined correct.

  If master data is existing and now you want to insert this optional routing position, you can work with Routing Batch changes to insert new routing position
