Standard Text Subtask

Use the Standard Text subtask to attach standard text to the routing step.

You can do this only if you have selected Routing for the standard text code in the Where-Used subtask of the Standard Text screen in Costpoint Product Definition. Click the Autoload button to display text codes already associated with the selected operation.

You can set up this subtask at the same time you create the routing step and maintain it whenever modifications to standard text are necessary.
