The work center category determines the data that can be maintained in a work center and, therefore, the functions (for example, costing or scheduling) for which the work center can be used.

Each work center category is assigned to the applications (for example, production, plant maintenance or quality management) whose menus allow you to maintain work centers with this category.

Each work center category has a number of screens assigned to it which the system displays when work centers of this category are displayed. The screens contain groups of fields (for example, scheduling data). Depending on the work center category, you can make field selections on these screens (for example, defining required entry fields).

You can specify whether change documents are written for each work center category. In the line hierarchy graphic you can use different colors to depict different work center categories. To do so maintain the color for the work center category.

You can maintain a status profile for each work center category. This entry is only taken into account for resources. If you enter a status profile, all the user statuses that have been defined in this profile are available for the resource.

Note

  • You can define default work centers for each work center category and plant. The contents of the fields maintained in the default work center are automatically copied into the new work center.
  • If you enter the appropriate default values in the default work center, the time and work needed to maintain work center data can be reduced considerably.

Actions

  1. Define your work center categories.
  2. Assign the work center categories to an application.
  3. Define the screen sequences for the work center categories in the menu option "Define work center screen sequence".
