Create, modify, and delete stations
Production stations and routes define the steps that an item in production goes through in the fabrication process. Stations and routes are also used for tracking labor time, the date a station is completed, and the batch ID for parts to be fabricated in the job.

To access the Stations dialog box, do the following:
-

The Stations dialog box opens.
On the left-hand pane, you can view the existing stations.
