An Internal Routing is the path or flow material follows when being transferred from one area to another. Typically, routing has two steps, starting in one area and ending in another; however, there are exceptions where a routing stays within the same area or moves between multiple areas (with multiple stops). You review these special circumstances later.

When there is not a routing, the system does not direct product, but you can still manually move materials to another area. For example, when reviewing the above flows in comparison to the QMI warehouse, product movement from Packaging to Shipments is a manual move and does not require a defined route.

Getting product in (Receiving) and out (Shipping) is not Routing dependent and is done using QAD core functions.
