Overview of Manufacturing Structure Generation
In typical manufacturing workflows, new products are rarely built from scratch. Instead, you duplicate the existing product structures using the Save As action and then make the necessary modifications. After completing modifications to the duplicated structure, you can use the 
Initialize Manufacturing Structures action to generate the manufacturing structures. This action uses the existing process plan or routing plan to automatically generate the manufacturing mBOM, process plan, and routing plan.

This action uses the existing process plan or routing plan to automatically generate the manufacturing mBOM, process plan, and routing plan.If you already have a routing plan, you can choose it as the source for structure generation. If not, you can proceed by selecting the process plan.
