Browse on Standard Narrations

You use this program to assign user-defined text to specific narration codes.

When adding or maintaining operations using the Structures and Routings program you can assign this text automatically to an operation by entering the four character narration code. This effectively enables you to assign the same text repeatedly to different operations.

Field Description
Narration code

Indicate the narration code to which you want to assign standard narration text.

[Note]
  • You can use the narration code within the Structures and Routings program to assign text automatically to operations, providing that you have selected the option: Standard narrations required for operations (Bill of Materials Setup). If this option is not selected then you can still assign text to operations, but this must be entered manually for each operation.
  • If you selected the option: Structure narrations required (Bill of Materials Setup) then you can also assign these standard narrations to your components. This is achieved when copying standard narrations within the Narrations function for the component.
