      </table><br><p class="para_topic">In <b class="uiTerm">Stock as Components</b> mode, the standard <b class="uiTerm">Parts List</b> functionality adds lines for stock since they are components. This results in a parts list that is similar to an Itemized Routing <b class="uiTerm">BOM</b>, when PART_NUMBER is the key box. However, if you do not make routing stock parts permanent (by renaming them), the stocks have the same PART_NUMBER attribute assigned to them as designated in the stock part table. These temporary parts will automatically collapse into a single line when sorting on the PART_NUMBER attribute. A STOCK_NUMBER attribute is added to each stock component that is created and corresponds to the PART_NUMBER attribute from the stock part table. You can make this field and sort on it. This causes the Parts List to behave like the <b class="uiTerm">Summarized</b> option in the Routing <b class="uiTerm">BOM</b>.

      <div class="title_division">Cut Lengths / Length Attributes</div>
      <p class="para_division">Routing automatically calculates and adds a length attribute to stock. The attribute name is LENGTH. It has a real value, which represents the cut length for an individual section of stock. To report the cut length in a parts list, add the LENGTH attribute to the set of attributes included in the parts list. Parts list will let you report this attribute under any heading. Parts list will then sum the cut length values for all stock with the same part number.</p>
      <p class="para_division">The calculation of the cut length also takes into consideration any length modification characteristics that add/subtract specific amounts to/from the modeled length. They also permit the modification of the calculated length by an overall multiplication factor. The length modification characteristics are:</p>
      <p class="para_division">LENGTH_ADDITION and LENGTH_COEFFICIENT</p>
      <p class="para_division">You can add these characteristics to stock or to ports on parts. The system will compute the LENGTH characteristic as follows:</p>
      <p class="para_division">LENGTH = LENGTH_ADDITION + (LENGTH_COEFFICIENT * &lt;calculated length&gt;).</p>
      <p class="para_division">Use the length modification characteristics anytime you do not want to model a detailed path. For instance, you can use LENGTH_ADDITION values to account for weld gaps in piping or terminal wrappings in wiring. You can use characteristic synonyms within the application view to assign process specific names to the length modification characteristics (see <a class="links" href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="top.popUpPage('routingadmin/index.html?goto=routingadmin/view_overview.html&vars=-aux,-home','linkInter','menubar=yes,status=yes,resizable=yes,toolbar=yes,scrollbars=yes,location=no,directories=no');return(false);">Routing Systems Configuration Guide &ndash; Application View Files</a>).
