Currently our Product Constraints use arithmetic operators on our Routing, namely the routing value 'run_time' where we say something like "Run_time = Run_time + CalcAdd" for example in the constraints.

I have been asked if we can do the same type of manipulation for the "Setup" Time value in the Routings. Can I manipulate that value in a similar manner as the Run_time constant?

I have no documentation on the details of the product constraint programming values like this. Can anyone please help ? Thanks !

I think that is possible.
We do it using a dll called by the contraint in the generic routing so I haven't tested doing it directly in the constraint.
But the point is - our setup time is calculated.

hope that helps (in a minor way!)

Interesting option calling a dll to do something and return ...

That would be over my head hee hee ..

I did however play around with a constraint on my test server and tried setup_time similar to run_time in the constraint and it did pass compilation. I will report back if I get anywhere with this .....

Thanks for the tip however ...
