Use this window to enter and revise data for work centers. The information that you enter for work centers is used when you work with operations, shop orders, master scheduling, material requirements planning (MRP), and cost estimates. Work centers are used when you enter operations, so they must be entered before operations.
A Work Center can be in one of the following states.
Active - The work center is used by manufacturing. Capacity must be measured in hours.
Inactive - The work center is no longer in use and is not available in
the list of values.
Planned - The work center is used by resource planning. Capacity can be in any unit of measure.
Note: If IFS/Purchasing is not installed, then you cannot create outside work centers.
For a description of each tab in the window, follow the appropriate link: Detail, Cost, Resource, WC Capacity, Routings, Routing Templates, Std Operations, RRP Capacity, Location, Utilization Statistics, Setup Matrix, Emissions
