The work center type.
Allowed values
Work Center (tirou0601m000)Use this session to list and maintain work centers. This must be done if the Job Shop by Site parameter is Active in the Multisite Concepts Activation (tcemm4600m000) session . Work center data is used for cost estimating and for planning purposes. Note This session also contains information from:
Work Center Type The work center type. Allowed values Work Center The work center ID. 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. 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. 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. Machine Capacity Groups If this check box is selected, machine types are used for the specified work center. One or more machine capacity groups must be defined for this work center, and every operation on this work center must have a machine type selected. 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 level at which the actual calendar is defined. 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. 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:
Default Labor Resource The employee number to which hours are posted in People using backflushing. 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. Labor Rate Code The labor rate is used to determine the intercompany price for hours spent on fulfilling an order or project. 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. 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. 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, within Order Planning, the Resource Order Plan (cprrp0530m000) session is used, both labor and machine capacity are available. Allowed values 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. 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:
Parent Work Center This field is used for financial reporting only, as a grouping element in the financial mapping scheme integration. Manager The code of the employee who is the department manager. Extra Intrastat Info 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. Finance Company A company that is used for posting financial data in Financials. You can link one or more enterprise units from multiple logistic companies to one financial company. Print Instructions If this check box is selected, a list of work centers is printed per site. Device for Printing Labels Specify the device used to print labels. 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. 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.
