Hi, from SP3 onwards you're allowed to use the same operation name (.e.g 
 
"Press") on more than one operation on a route (Op 10, 20, 30 etc). But I've 
 
noticed that if I do that in SP5, and then change the work centre or times on 
 
one of the operations, the times change on the other operations with the same 
 
name. 
 
Is that how it's supposed to work?

Im not sure, if that is how it's supposed to work, but it's the way it works ;-) Besides, it worked 
 
that way in SP3 too and, I hate that behaviour. 
 
This effect is caused by the way route information is saved. Most of the information (workcenter, 
 
time settings...) are not kept directly on the route but on a different table (RouteOpr) which is 
 
linked to the route by the operation name, itemCode and routeCode (where item- and routeCodes can be 
 
defined to be specific or general). 
 
So if you use the same operation name twice on the same route, you link to the same data record 
 
(RouteOpr) for both operations and therefore all changes are reflected on both operations. 
 
As I said above I hate this. If you want to use general operation names like e.g drilling, the 
 
probability, that this will occur several times in a route is high. And then you have to use 
 
drilling_1, drilling_2, because not every drilling operation will take the same time, but it will 
 
make no sense to define an operation name for every possible drilling operation.
