The work center type.
Allowed values
Work Center (tirou0101s000)Use this session to manage detailed information for a specific work center. Note Only applicable if Job Shop by Site parameter is Inactive in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session.
Work Center Type Work Center The work center ID. When you define a work center code, you must find out which work center influences the cost estimates of production orders. The number of work centers need not match with the number of physical work centers in your organization, as not every physical work center has an impact on estimated costs. In the Production Planning (tisfc0110m000) session, you can modify the planning by having an operation carried out at another work center. In that case, the resource units must be similar. Note
Production Department A group of production resources, work centers and work cells, physically related to each other. For example, a production hall is a production department. Address A full set of address-related details, which include the postal address, access to telephone, fax, telex numbers, and email, Internet address, identification for taxation purposes, and routing information. City (Letterhead) The name of the city that must be printed before the date in the department's letter headings. Enterprise Unit A financially independent part of your organization that includes entities such as departments, work centers, warehouses, and projects. The enterprise unit's entities must all belong to the same logistic company, but a logistic company can contain multiple enterprise units. An enterprise unit is linked to a single financial company. When you carry out logistic transactions between enterprise units, the resulting financial transactions are posted to the financial companies to which each enterprise unit is linked. You can change the work center's enterprise unit in the Departments (tcemm1124m000) session. However, once you have set up the multicompany structure, you can no longer change the enterprise unit. Finance Company Operational Company The company to which a department, warehouse, or project belongs. In most cases, this is the logistic company in which the department, warehouse, or project was created. Logistic transactions originating from a department, warehouse, or project can only be created in their operational company. Shared Type/ Primary Company Work Center Calendar A set of definitions, that are used to build a list of calendar working hours. A calendar is identified by a calendar code and availability type combination. The field is not applicable, when the Work Center Type field is set to Line Station or Buffer. Actual Calendar The calendar and availability type combination that is used by the work center manufacturing a production order. Note
Origin The ID of the session where the actual calendar is defined. Extra Intrastat Info Manager The code of the employee who is the department manager. Labor Rate Code The labor rate is used to determine the intercompany price for hours spent on fulfilling an order or project. Subcontractor Independent If this check box is selected, the work center, which is defined as Subcontracting Work Center, has no linked subcontractor. Note This check box allows users to model scenarios and define master data for production of items with subcontracted tasks or parts, while the subcontractor is yet to be determined. Subcontractor The subcontractor, if the Work Center Type field is Subcontracting Work Center. Note You cannot specify this field if the SubcontractorIndependent check box is selected in the Work Centers (tirou0101m000) session. Shop Floor Warehouse A warehouse that stores intermediate inventory in order to supply work centers. A shop floor warehouse is linked to an individual work cell, an assembly line, or one or more work centers. A shop floor warehouse can be supplied with goods using replenishment orders, or by pull-based material supply. The pull-based material supply methods are:
The items stored in the shop-floor warehouse are not part of the work in process (WIP). When items leave the shop floor warehouse for use in production, their value is added to the WIP. You can only enter a value if the Use of Shop Floor Warehouses check box in the Production Order Parameters (tisfc0100s000) session is selected. The value of the Warehouse Type field in the Warehouses (tcmcs0103s000) session must be set to Shop Floor. Default Labor Resource The employee number to which hours are posted in People using backflushing. Operation Rate Code The code linked to the work center and used as the work center rate. Note You must define operation codes in the Operation Rate Codes (ticpr0150m000) session. This field is only enabled if:
Costing Work Center A work center, linked to a work center, that is used to calculate the end item unit costs, WIP transfers, and production results used to hold the financial transactions related to production orders. The link between a costing work center, and a work center enables you to replan production order operations again. If required, you can change the work center that is used to carry out an operation without modifying the costing process. Note If the work center is of the Sub Work Center type the costing work center of the sub-work-center's main work center is automatically displayed. However, you can change the costing work center in this field. Operation Rate Code of Costing W/C The code linked to the costing work center and used as the costing work center rate. Use as Calculation Office If this check box is selected, the selected costing work center functions as the calculation office. Week Capacity [Hours] The weekly capacity of each resource unit in the work center. This value is used to calculate the normal capacity of a work center by week, which is displayed in work center utilization reports. Note Only available if the value of the Job Shop by Site parameter is Inactive in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session. Basic Day Capacity The daily capacity of each resource unit in the work center. This value is used to calculate the normal capacity of a work center by day, which is displayed in work center utilization reports. Note Only available if the value of the Job Shop by Site parameter is Inactive in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session. Number of Machines The number of machines that are available for production on the work center. This value can be calculated and updated in the Calculate Resources (tirou0201m000) session. LN searches for all machines allocated to a work center by means of the Machines (Machine Types) (tirou0102m000) session. The number of machines for a work center is calculated as follows: number of machines = sum of weekly capacities of all machines linked to work center / weekly capacity of work center The work center's weekly capacity is defined in the Week Capacity [Hours] field of this session. The number of machines and the number of operators that is linked to a work center is used to calculate the work center's available capacity. Example
Number of machines = (40+60)/40 = 2.50 Note Only available if the value of the Job Shop by Site parameter is Inactive in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session. Available Labor Resources The number of operators that is available on the work center. This value can be calculated and updated in the Calculate Resources (tirou0201m000) session. Each work center is a department. LN searches for all operators assigned to the department by means of the Employees - General (tccom0101m000) session, and sums up their weekly capacities. The number of operators for a work center is calculated as follows: number of operators = sum of weekly capacities of all operators linked to work center / weekly capacity of the work center The employees' weekly capacities are entered in the Employment field in the Employees - People (bpmdm0101m000) details session. The work center's weekly capacity is defined in the Work Centers (tirou0101m000) details session. The number of machines and the number of operators that is linked to a work center are used to calculate the work center's available capacity. Example Current date: 2000-11-07 Work center A: 40 hrs /week
Number of operators = (40 + 30) /40 = 1.75, because the hours of employee A is 40 and employee C is 30. The hours of employee B are ignored as the Last Date is set to 2000 -10 -31 (the date earlier to current date), and hence B is no longer the employee for the date set. Critical in Master Planning Specify the capacity that will be used for Master Planning. If the work center has no capacity groups, only Labor Capacity is used. If order planning in the Resource Order Plan (cprrp0530m000) session is used, both labor and machine capacity are available. Allowed values Queue Time The amount of time that an order remains at a work center before setup, or work is performed. The queue time is used in lead time calculation. The queue time is expressed in days or hours. The days or hours must be interpreted as days and hours in the working time calendar that is linked to the work center. If the Time Unit field is Days, LN rounds the entered values of the lead times to integer values. Time Unit The time unit in which Wait Time and Queue Time are expressed. The time unit of the sub-work-center can be the same as the time unit of its main work center. If the time unit relates to the queue time, Days and Hours must be interpreted as days and hours in the working time calendar that is linked to the work center. If the time unit relates to the wait time, no calendar is used. The availability of time is considered as 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Allowed values
Wait Time The time that an order remains at a work center after an operation is completed until it is moved to the next operation. LN does not plan wait times according to a specific calendar. Planning of the wait time is based on a 7 * 24 hours week schedule. A typical example is the time required for drying after the application of paint. When LN calculates the start times and end times of planned orders based on the routing, LN considers the wait time. The wait time is expressed in days or hours. The days or hours do not relate to a calendar. The availability of time is considered as 24 hours a day, seven days a week. If the Time Unit field is Days, LN rounds the entered values of the lead times to integer values. The plan buffer created by the wait time enables you to build in a certain tolerance between successive operations, which makes it possible to shift operations in case planning must be adjusted. Note This field is not accessible if the Work Center Type field is Costing Work Center, Line Station or Buffer. Move Time The time that a semifinished good is in transit from one operation to the next operation. After the last operation, the move time is the time required to transfer the finished good to the warehouse. Move time is one of the lead-time elements LN plans according to a specific calendar. If the Time Unit field is Days, LN rounds the entered values of the lead times to integer values. Parent Work Center The main work center linked to the work center. Note If the value Job Shop by Site parameter is Active in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session, this field is only used for financial reporting, as a grouping element in the financial mapping scheme integration. Otherwise, it can be used to aggregate capacity. Constraint Type Constraint Time Fence Desired Queue The difference between the output and input of a work cell required by the user. This value is the default for initial queue calculations. Critical in Planning Specify which capacity is critical when planning. The specified capacity is used by Enterprise Planning and Project Control network activities:
In Order Planning ( the Resource Order Plan-Find (cprrp0530m000) session), both the Man Capacity and Machine Capacity are available. Note JSC does not use this field because in JSC the capacity use is always expressed in terms of labor capacity and in terms of machine capacity. Allowed values Use rough PCS capacity requirement In PCS network planning, the work center's capacity can be consumed by:
This check box determines how the work center's capacity is consumed:
Print Instructions If you use a microrouting, you can define instructions for production orders for each operation and for each operation step. If the value of this field is Yes, those instructions are printed. Device for Printing Labels Specify the device used to print labels.
