Difference in Main work centre and Operation workcentre

Hello PM Gurus,
In CS order, we have two work centres. One at header level called as Main work centre and another at operation level.
Why do we have two work centres. The one at operation level itself should have been enough.
There is a main work centre at functional location too ( Organisation tab). So what is the connection if we use this functional location as the reference while creating a CS order.
Please reply soon.
Cheers
Sunny

Hi Sunny,
The work center at haeder i.e., Main Work Center is the reponsible work center(say a department). It means it takes the reponsibility of the whole job mentioned in that work order(or job given by production dept.). Now, assume , it further distributes the whole work to its own sub-dept or different work centers as per nature of job. Say, electrical related work to elec work centers etc., by ,means of assigning to different operations.
The Main work center's cost center will be copied as responsible cost center in Additional data TAB of the order.Now thus you see commercially the responsibility of doing the job lies with the responsible cost center (or say Main work center).
Hope it is clear.
Regards,
Rajesh

  • Difference between PP work Centre and Main work centre in a floc ?

    Hi,
    Can someone tell me the difference between the PP work centre in the location tab of a functional location compared to the Main Work Centre listed in the Organizational tab ?
    Thanks

    Kent,
    The way I understand it, is that the main work centre (Field name: GEWRK) in the organizational tab refers to the actual group who are reponsible for carrying out the maintenance of the object.  Costing and capacity planning is carried out through this Work Centre.  However the PP Work Centre (Field name: ARBPL) in the location tab is a different work centre.  And I'm not sure what it controls (if anything).  I think it refers to the location of the unit, but other than that I don't know what it controls.

  • How to change the main work center and  work center of each operation when generating work order by maintenance plan

    Dear experts,
    I face a problem that system get main work center from equipment master data as a default main work center in maintenance plan when creating maintenance plan. however, if main work center in equipment is changed later, the change will not synchronize to related maintenance plan. if work order is generated from maintenance plan, main work order in order is defaulted from maintenance plan instead of updated work center in equipment.
    another problem is that, for those orders generated by maintenance plan, the work centers in  operations is defaulted from task list in maintenance plan. in most case, work center in task list is dummy. Actually the work is done by work center in equipment master data.
    My expectation is how to auto replace the main work center and work center of operations in work order with the one in equipment master data if order is generated by maintenance plan? is there any standard configuration or enhancement/BADi that can help with this requirement?
    thanks！
    Wesley

    Wesley,
    Sorry - development is the only way.
    Another option is to create a batch program that runs before your IP30 run(s) and updates any maintenance items and task lists with the correct work centres.

  • Re: DIfference between Schemas, PCRS' FUnctions and Operations

    Dear SAPExperts,
    Can anybody pls tell me what is difference between Schemas, PCRS' Functions and Operations.
    Thanx in advance
    Regards
    Aniruddha

    Hi Aniruddha
    When the payroll driver is executed (for ex: PC00_M40_CALC for INDIA is executed) the schema IN00 (standard schema) is executed and it calls certain functions (functions may use Rules. Rules contain Operation) and also subschemas.
    Functions could be of four types
    1. Performing some payroll computations (E.g. INEPF function calculates the PF amount of an employee during payroll run)
    2. Calling rules (E.g. P0045 function calls a rule INLN to compute the loan details of a personnel number).
    3. Getting data from Infotypes (E.g. P0581 will get the data from Infotype-581 for payroll processing).
    4. For some decisions. (E.g. IF & ENDIF function is used to execute as per the true and false decisions) etc.
    When the PY is executed SAP uses lot of Internal Tables to store data and also provides data to other internal tables.
    The read and change access to Internal Tables is enabled using functions that are executed in a personnel calculation schema and using operations that are executed in personnel calculation rules.
    The following is just an attempt to provide some info on how Functions are processed during the PY Run. For ex: (functionality of subschema XIN0 and INBD)
    1. INITIALIZATION OF PAYROLL: When the Payroll is executed first the subschema XIN0 is called,   This subschema comprises the following main steps:
    I.     Specify program type (payroll or evaluation)
    II.     Set switch for database updates (YES/NO) all database updates are controlled via this switch (otherwise simulation)
    III.     Only infotypes from the HR master record which apply to the selected personnel number are read.
    IV.     All Time Management infotypes are imported.
    V.     Specify check against control record PA03 (test or live).
    2. READ BASIC DATA: Once the Initialization of Payroll is successful, the subschema INBD is called. This subschema reads the Basic data of an employee who is there in the Payroll execution. Basic Data includes, determining Employee Name, Reading Work Center/Basic Pay Data, Setting Financial Year Dates and Allowance Grouping Tables, Reading Previous Employment Tax Details, Reading Housing (HRA/CLA/COA), Reading Exemptions, Reading Income from Other Sources, Reading Section 80 Deductions, Reading Investment Details (Sec 88), Reading Provident Fund Contributions, Reading Other Statutory Deductions, Reading Car and Conveyance, Reading Long Term Reimbursements, Read ID Details. Function GON checks whether all the master data has been imported, no further processing of schema will occur unless certain data is present.
    The Subschema INBD calls the following functions in order to read the Basic Data:
    ENAME :
    Function ENAME reads the last valid name of the employee in the payroll period. The formatting used for the country in question is used when displaying this name.
    WPBP
    If an employee receives a pay increase within a payroll period, the Basic Pay infotype (0008) is changed and delimited as of a specific date. Two data records exist for one payroll period.
    During payroll, the system writes the Basic Pay wage type to the results table with two different indicators. These split indicators are a link to the WPBP table that contains the relevant values. The system takes into consideration both data records for the corresponding partial periods when calculating remuneration.
    ININI
    P0580
    P0581
    P0582
    P0584
    P0585
    P0586
    P0587
    P0588
    P0583
    P0590
    P185I
    GON :
                    Function GON checks whether all the master data has been imported. No further processing of the schema will occur unless certain data is present. Checking procedures vary from country to country. There must always, however, be a work center (P007).
    [Def. of Functions, Rules and Operations (copied from Raju's answer)
    Schema is a collection of functions
    A Rule is a collection of operations.
    An operation is a very basic piece of logic that is used, mostly, to manipulate wage types

    Hi,
      Thanks for your response. Actually after doing further R&D, I saw that work_ctr requires the object key of the work center. I fetched the OBJECTKEY from CRHD & passed. It automatically updated both work center & plant associated.

    Hi
    Main workcenter is the responsible workcenter in a order and is used as a reporting selection criteria in major reports(IW38/IW39/IW28/IW29/IW68/IW69 etc). From it also the responsible cost center gets derived. Also it gets copied to the Performing workcenter fields of each operations. So why you dont wants it to be used. It can be maintained as master data in technical objects & gets copied to notifications/orders while creation

  • Difference between Order Header BSD and operation schedule SSD

    Hi,
    One of your Client is operating on SAP 4.7
    There are some cases where Order Header Basic Start Date and operation Schedule Date are no same.
    example:
    Present Order Basic Start Date 24.06.2011
    Present Order Basic Finish Date 01.07.2011
    Forward Schedled order.
    Operation 1
    Operation 2
    Work Center has sufficient capacity and is available to perform work 24hrs.
    Using planning board CM10 user dispatches operation 1 to 30.06.2011 and operation 2 to 01.07.2011.
    The problem is order basic start date is remaining same i.e. 24.06.2011 and not chaning to 30.06.2011.
    Can any one please help in this issue.

    yes for all order types and also i have observed that most of work order has basic start date as 24.06.2011 when all the operations of orders are scheduled in future dates (date other than 24.06.2011).
    The first time scheduling of work order operation is done on 24.06.2011 (CM10) and then after re-scheduling (through IW38) of operation changed the schedule start date but work ordre basic start date remained same i.e 24.06.2011.
    Dispite of first time scheduling and then re-scheduling basic start date remained 24.06.2011.
    Note: Same profile was selected in both CM10 and IW38 while accessing planning board.

  • Work Centre and Transacion Launches

    I have 3 logical links - these are transaction launches
    I have a Work Centre, that shows these launches in the sub menu from the bavbar
    But I also want, when I click the work centre, to see the three launches in the work centre page
    I can't seem to do this in config (do I need to develop it?)

  • Difference between master cost centre and sender cost centre

    Hi All,
    could you please tell the difference between master and sender cost centre.
    I want this information very urgent.
    Thanks rakesh

    Hi!
    The master CT is a default Ct in your system.
    In this case the logical pair for master is the "child" cost center -> primary and secondary cost centers..
    The sender CT is a different thing logically -> this will be credited while posting. The sender is the one who claims money.
    To this type the logical pair is the receiver cost center. While posting the receivers cost center will be debited.
    Hope this helps!
    Best regards,

  • PM Order - Change "Work Center" on operations to "Main Work Center"

    Hi Experts,
    We have prepared a tool for client, which create Maintenance Plan and order in the background.
    The order created is having "Main Work Center" defined at header and "Work Center" at the operations level. In the current scenario the "Main Work Center" and "Work Center" are different say 'ABC' & u2018XYZu2019.
    Client has the requirement that work center maintained at operations should be same as the main work center.
    We need to implement the solution to take care of work center to be same as main work center while creation of the order in the background.
    Has anyone worked on the similar requirement before?
    I checked for existing USER EXITS for IW31/32/33 and found only one IWO10012. This doesnu2019t seem to be much useful.
    Please suggest any possible solution.
    Thanks,
    Ankur Sharma

    Hi Tilak,
    Thanks for the response. The current situation is that we are creating the order in background using the Z-program. The scenario is creating order with operation entries having work center not equal to the main work center.
    I am not functional, so just talking in terms of technical terms.
    Is there a way the work center at operation level can be changed to main work center in background?
    Thanks,
