Create, Change & Display of Work Center IR01,IR02,IR03
Purpose
A work center is an organizational unit that defines where and when an operation should be
carried out within a plant. A work center is unique within a plant. Work centers can be machines,
people or production lines. Operations that need to be executed are defined on a task list and
executed at the corresponding user assigned work center. This transaction enables the user to
create basic data, set defaults, assignments, and define capacities and scheduling data pertinent
to a work center. Work centers contain default values that are copied or referenced in operations
at the time of task list creation. They also contain costing, scheduling and capacity data required
for leadtime scheduling and capacity planning.
Trigger
Need identified for a new Work Center within a plant.
