The Operation detail form is where you define a single step of an item's routing — one manufacturing operation such as a machine or work-center task. Here you set which operation it is, the resource that performs it, how long it takes, any subcontracting (external) details, and the tools, utilities and additional resources it uses. The same form is used both to create a new operation and to edit an existing one.
Accessing the view
1.Click on an Operation entry from SAP Web Client > Advanced Production > Routing (see Operations list.)
2.Select an Operation in the list.
3.Direct URL: /views/items/{ID}/routing/{positionID}

•Avatar — A factory icon representing the operation.
•Title — The Operation Code (e.g., OP0001).
•Subtitle — The operation description (e.g., "Cutting operation")

•External (ExternalId = 1) — Shows the External Operation / Subcontracting fields.
•Without Time — Hides the Durations section and the Tools & Utilities / Resources tabs.
