RESOURCE & WORK CENTRE
What is the difference between Resource & Work Centre?Is it necessary to create
Resource before creating Work Centre.Please make me clear.
Dear,
Normally PP-PI is recommended for process oriented industries like pharmaceutical,chemicals industries,cement industries etc. It is similar to the discrete but instead of routing, it uses the master recipe where the process messages are maintained.
1) Batch Oriented process manufacturing.
2) Process order based manufacturing.you copy the process described in a master recipe and adjust it to the actual production run.
3) Master Data includes Master Recipes and resources.
4) Process Management:In this area, you coordinate the communication between PP-PI and process control during the execution of a process order
Discrete manufaturing is used in manufacturing companies
This method is applicable to the manufacturing set up where small lots are manufactured with frequent changes in the settings.This manufacturing is accounted through production orders. With normal routing.
Please check this thread to get more idea.

Idoc for Resource/Work center characteristics .
Hi All ,
I want to send Resource/Work Center characteristics name and value from SAP R/3 to Legacy system via PI.
The requirement is that I should use Idocs.
Is there any Idoc in which I can send the following info.
1.Resource/Work Centre
2.Resource Description Text
3.Characteristic Name
4.Characteristic Value.
Can we use CHRMAS04 . If yes then how do we pass Resource and its text.
Thanks in advanceHello Alexander,
Thanks for the quick reply.
As per the help document, the work center category 9100 is supposed to create a Resource in SAP ME but it ends up creating work center in ME.
If you see the screen shot I had put in my query, I see that there are three work flows - one for LOIWCS03 and the other two for LOIWCS02_RES and LOIWCS02_RES. Would this make any difference since I would expect that the work flow for RES and WC should also be in line with LOIWCS03?
I will be asking my tech team to raise a support incident for this. Meanwhile I would appreciate your reply on this.
Thanks

Can u let me know what is Cost Centre / Work Centre ?
What is the difference between production order / process order
Thanks in advance.Hi
check info given BY sap to clear ur doubt
Definition
Operations are carried out at a work center. In the R/3 System work centers are business objects that can represent the following real work centers, for example:
Machines, machine groups
Production lines
Assembly work centers
Employees, groups of employees
Use
Together with bills of material and routings, work centers belong to the most important master data in the R/3 production planning and control system. Work centers are used in task list operations and work orders. Task lists are for example routings, maintenance task lists, inspection plans and standard networks. Work orders are created for production, quality assurance, plant maintenance and for the Project System as networks.
Data in work centers is used for
Scheduling
Operating times and formulas are entered in the work center, so that the duration of an operation can be calculated.
Costing
Formulas are entered in the work center, so that the costs of an operation can be calculated. A work center is also assigned to a cost center.
Capacity planning
The available capacity and formulas for calculating capacity requirements are entered in the work center.
Simplifying operation maintenance
Various default values for operations can be entered in the work center.
The following graphic illustrates the use of work center data.
Use of work center data
Structure
A work center is created for a plant and is identified by a key. The work center category, which you define in Customizing the work center, determines which data can be maintained in the work center.
The data is grouped thematically together in screens and screen groups. Examples of such screen or screen groups are:
Basic Data
Assignments (to cost centers, Human Resource Management System (HR))
Capacities
Scheduling
Default values
Hierarchy
Technical data
Integration
Task Lists
Work centers are assigned to operations in task lists. If you change default values in a work center, the changes are effective in the task list if a reference indicator has been set for the default value.
Work Center Hierarchies
Work centers can be arranged in hierarchies. These are important in capacity planning. You use hierarchies to cumulate available capacities and capacity requirements in a hierarchy work center.
Assignments to Objects in the Human Resource Management System
A Logistics work center can be assigned to either an organizational unit or a work center in the Human Resource Management System (HRMS). Assignments to other HR-objects, for example employees or qualifications, can be maintained via the HR work center.

Planner group vs maintenance work centre?
hi
in IDES server generally planner group and maintenance work centre are same.can they be different if so then please
explain with example.
regards
sanjayHi,
Work Center - represents a unit that is capable of performing work. It can be a group of person, equipment and special resources used to MANAGE the work order and/or PERFORM work order operations during maintenance execution. It can be used to model a resource availability within the organisation. There are 2 types, Main Work Center (responsible for overall managemetn of the work) and Operational Work Center (executes the operation activities).
Planner Group - represents a person or group of persons responsible for the PLANNING and PROCESSING of several maintenance Work Orders.
Cheers,

Work centre capacity utilization
Dear guru ,
i have a work centre that always work in the same moment for 3 different production order.
If my total daily available capacity is 11 hours for my 1 individual capacity is right that I assign to the work centre a capacity utilization of 300 percent in order to have a daily available capacity of 33 hours and I can use capacity levelling in the best way ?
Or there is other better solution for solving this problem ?
Thanks for your help.you can also put no. of individual capacity as 3.

How I will be able to do so,also?Will the Production Scheduller and Cost Centre assignments fom the old work centre be copied,too,or I will need to create/copy these from scratch?
All help greatly appreciated,will award points to all useful answers.
PAPJ1.
Edited by: PAPJ1 on May 20, 2011 11:01 AMHello,
You can create a new work center by copying an existing work center. in the cr01 screen in the copy from column put the plant name and Ref. work center name and put enter. all the existing data will be copied to the newly created work center. no need to create new assignment to Production Scheduller and Cost Center.
Hope it helps.

Work centres for employee of more than one plant
Hello experts
I have a question regarding work centres. Our department is managing a pool of workers which consist of employee from more than one plant. Somebody had made experience concerning this issue?
Furthermore we have to manage external workers as capacity. How can I build up this in SAP?
Best regards>
> I confused plants with company code.
>
This bit difficult for me to decide and say something.
Depends on the business requirement and business process and legal statuses it will be decided.
some time plans can also be company 'codes'.
if the management wants to differentiate plants in financial terms plants may become company codes.
>
So we have employees of different company codes which get managed by one department manager. Is that possible to make one work center so that we are able to manage them together. Seems infeasible. So we have to create for every company code one work center, but we never have an overview of our total workers...
>
One thing you need to get clarified here. Company is a separate legal entity.
if you want one employee to work in different companies on different assignments you support use (MGE and CE concept)
>
> If he/she working in two different site we can manage the situation with dual reporting concept.
> and with:
> For cost center you can always use cost center split. while posting to FI/CO.
>
Dual reporting is to manage the people.
Cost is for final analysis ( where employee work how much incured, how much profit/loss earned) -
Restricting the change of workcentre in CO11N to selected work centres
Dear PP Gurus,
I have included the following screen
0420: Personnel: incl work center and posting date in the confirmation profile, so that the user can change the work centre at the time of confirmation. However the user wants that there should be a check where in only the workcentres which are used in parallel to be allowed for the perticular operation.
Please guide how to achieve this? Can we have a check thorugh any of the user exit below:
CONFPP02 PP order conf.: Customer specific input checks 1
CONFPP03 PP order conf.: Cust. specific check after op. selection
CONFPP04 PP order conf.: Customer specific input checks 2
CONFPP05 PP order conf.: Customer specific enhancements when saving
Eg.
For operation 0020 the user may perform the confirmations on Weld1 /Weld2 /Weld 3 machine. Now the system will allow to select any work centre other than these three. That may lead to wrong confirmation. The user wants to restrict the work centres to be selected to these three only. These three machines are mentioend as parallel sequence in the routing.

To create new Activity Type , you need to follow the below steps :
KA01 - Create Primary Cost Element for the new activities type.
KL01 - Create Activity Type tied to the primary cost element.
KP26 - Change Activity Type/Activity Price Planning - maintain the Variable price
Assign the activity type to cost center using T code KP26.
In the input screen of T code KP26 ,enter version as 0, from period 1 and to period as 12 and the Fiscal Year as 20xx.
Click on Overview tab on top and key in costing details in this screen.
After performing this ,while creating the work center ,this combination of activity type & cost center should be assigned.
At work centre level , you should have
1.Create Standrad Value Key -OP19 and Formula Key in OP49.
2.Create Formula Parameters in OP7B or u can use existing one to assing in the Standard Value Key
3.In CR02-Assing the Standard value key in Basic Data and select the Formula Key in Costing tab with cost centre assingement .Save
Try and check

rajibhi
you can make the default cost element by creating the external profile in IMG and assigning to the order type ,also in easy access screen during order creation you can mention as default values in the menu Extras>settings>default values
As per what cost element has to be specified kindly consult with the CO team,regarding the mandatory field may be you have specified the fields as mandatory in IMG settings,kindly check

Inside the planning tabel select the Operation from "Order (Pool) tabel" and drag manually to the "under load workcenter " displayed in upper table (workcenter) for required date. Now the operation workcenter has become changed & rescheduled.
