Use as Calculation Office

If this check box is selected, the selected costing work center functions as the calculation office.

Capacity

Show in Resource Master Plan

Specify the capacity that will be used for the Resource Order Plan (cprrp0530m000) session, the PCS network activities, and to calculate the value of the Aggr. Estim. Cap. [H] field in the Activities (tipcs4101m000) session.

If the work center has no capacity groups, only Labor Capacity is used.

Allowed values

Labor Capacity: Labor capacity is used in Enterprise Planning to express the capacity use of the resource master plan.
Machine Capacity: Machine capacity is used in Enterprise Planning to express the capacity use of the resource master plan.

Use rough PCS capacity requirement

In PCS network planning, the work center's capacity can be consumed by:

PCS rough capacity, which is defined in the Activities (tipcs4101m000) session
Capacity required for JSC production orders and planned production orders in Enterprise Planning .

This check box determines how the work center's capacity is consumed:

If this check box is selected, the work center's available capacity is consumed by the capacity required for the JSC production orders and planned production orders in Enterprise Planning . The rough capacity requirements defined in the Activities (tipcs4101m000) session are not taken into account.
If this check box is cleared, the PCS rough capacity defined for activities in PCS, and the capacity required for JSC production orders and planned production orders in Enterprise Planning are subtracted from the work center's available capacity. Therefore, double consumption of work center capacity occurs.

Capacity Group

Select the work center capacity group.

Note: The work center capacity group must be defined in the Work Center Capacity Groups (tirou0140m000) session.

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.

Lead Time Defaults

Queue Time

queue time

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

Hours
Lead times are expressed in hours and fractional values are allowed.
Days
Lead times are expressed in days and fractional values will be rounded to integer values.

Wait Time

wait time

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, Line Station or Buffer.

Move Time

move time

If the Time Unit field is Days, LN rounds the entered values of the lead times to integer values.
