Human Factors
Original flight plan did not have a SID filed. PDC gave notice of a route change adding OAK7 departure; and also added the fix DEDHD prior to joining filed route. OAK7 was programmed into FMS; but not the DEDHD waypoint. ATC assigned radar vectors when we advised DEDHD was not programmed. Brief the flight plan route with more diligence from the PDC.
We were told to proceed to DEDHD; which I recognized from the PDC/Route change; but CA couldn't find it on the FMS flight plan because it never got entered.I'm flying and initially made a left turn past north; while the CA was looking for the point. ATC had us correct to a 020 HDG; then 350 HDG; and CA radioed that we didn't have DEDHD on our flight plan; so ATC gave us a climb but had to prompt me a second time; as I was busy looking for where I knew I'd seen the DEDHD point. It was just sloppy flying on my part; as I tried to help the CA find the point....I looked for it on the SID plate; but eventually we pulled out the PDC and saw where we had added the SID as part of the route change; but had missed the DEDHD entry prior to BTG. It was self-discovery; and I don't think ATC had a serious issue with it. But nonetheless; we messed up.We failed to adequately brief and verify the route change entered in its entirety. Hold the PDC route change up and verify its entry correctly!
Air carrier flight crew report being assigned the OAK7 Departure from OAK with the added waypoint of DEDHD via PDC. The waypoint is never entered into the FMC and when ATC issues a clearance direct the crew requests vectors.
