Hi all, Sharing another document in the series of documents about the Manufacturing module of Apache OFBiz.
This document explains the concept of routing and routing tasks in Apache OFBiz. Routing plays a key role in defining the sequence of operations required to manufacture a product. This guide helps users understand what routing is, how routing tasks structure the production process, and how to configure them in Apache OFBiz. To make the concepts easier to follow, we’ve used the example of manufacturing a skateboard. The guide walks through setting up routing and routing tasks for both the finished product and its sub-assemblies using a multi-level Bill of Materials (BOM). It includes a clear, step-by-step walkthrough—making it easier to model real-world production flows within the system. While this document is especially helpful for current Apache OFBiz users, it can also support manufacturers evaluating open-source MEPS solutions by showcasing how Apache OFBiz handles production planning.

Would love other community members to review it, share feedback, and contribute to make the resource even better. Thanks -- Divesh Dutta
