  • Activity Type Changes in Work Center

    Hi Experts,
    We now want to change the activity type in a work center, and hope all the routings that have the work center being changed automatically. Currently, the existing routings can not be changed automatically. Is there a way to have all the routings changed as well? 
    Best Regards,
    Helen

    Hi,
    In Costing tab next to the activity you should find a check box for Reference Indicator. If this is ticked, then the changes done in work center will be automatically read into routings.
    If it is not, then you will have to manually change in routings. For individual, you can use CA02, for mass work with CEWB, working area as SAP_OPERATION

  • Confirmation of a formula in work center in the confirmation

    Hi All,
              I want a result of a formula of work center of particular operation in confirmation. Can any body guide the steps

    Hi Vachanala,
                           1. You create a standard value parameter in OP7B which is to be used in the formula.
                           2. Your standard value key created through OP19 should be containing this parameter which you have created and this key should be assigned in the basic data in the work center. Check generate box before saving the SVK.
                           3. You define the formula which uses this parameter through OP21. You should check allowed for calculation box.
                           4. In the costing tab of work center you maintain the formula against this parameter. If you want to cost it In that case  and should also maintain an activity through KL01 and maintain a price for it through KP26. This activity should also then be maintained against the parameter in the costing tab of work center. Also check the reference indicator against the parameter.
                           5. Assign this work center to the operation in routing.
                           6. Create order, release and do confirmation, if you click actual data system should propose you the quantity as per calculation. Cost will be calculated if you maintained as per point 4, in the planned cost against the order.
                               Please check and revert.

  • How do I create a new Work Center for the transaction launcher and links

    Hi
    The requirement here is for me to find out if I can create a new Work Center that will contain up to 6 assignment blocks and each block having either links to websites and BW reports, or triggers to R/3 applications via the transaction launcher.
    Can I do this purely through customising or do I need to create a new view using BSPs? If I can do it through customising please could I have a few pointers to what component I would need to use/copy?
    Regards
    Declan

    Hi Robert,
    Thanks again for taking the time to reply.
    Just so I understand, if I want to show a work center I need to link it to a component / view? I think this was the original query - do I need a developer to create the view that contains the 6 blocks with their links to reports, transactions and websites? I think when I talk about blocks I mean 1 viewset containing 6 views. There is no SAP standard view that would suit my requirements is there? Even if the work center had 8 views, I can always hide the two views in configuration.
    After the developer has created the view, I then reference that component in the target Id in the define logical links section of my work center.
    If my understanding is right, then it follows that it is not possible to create a user specific work center without some development.
    Is this correct?
    Cheers

  • Work Center

    Hello Guru,
    I have some question about the work center when pick up by the creation of production order. When we create production order manually via CO01, SAP pick workcenter BSBA111 for this order. And when we convert a planned order to a production order SAP pick work center CAWORK01. same finished product is been consider with this material number 1111002 in plant 0012. why in different way of creating production order, but the system is been picking two different work center with different formula? please explain deeply for my concern.
    Thanks

    In this case what is happening is that while creating manual Production order you are manually selecting the production version . therefore the routing assigned to that particular production version gets copied & subsequently the work centre assigned to th routing gets copied along with that.
    Since you have used selection methood as 3 (selection only by production version) the system searches for the valid production version starting from the 1st production version in your list of production versions & stops as soon as it finds the valid one & selects it.(I.e. the 1st version which is valid for the date of exposion & within the lot size defined)
    Now in this case the one which you selected & the one which the system finds during MRP can differ.
    Thats why your work centres differ , because the production versions differ.
    Therefore If you want the selection to be same in Manual PO & PO by MRP , in OPL8, for your plant & order type , select indicator 0 for Production version i.e. automatic selection of production version.

  • IW41: automatic update of activity type when changing the work center?

    Hello colleagues,
    when doing a time confirmation with IW41, we have following problem:
    In the PM order the operations are assigned to a neutral executing work center, as it not known which individual technician is completing the operation later on.
    Now when the individual technician is entering the time confirmation with IW41, system is proposing the work center indicated in the operation from the PM order, then technician is overwriting the work center proposal with his own individual work center ID (and pressing Enter), but the activity type is not getting updated automatically. So the technician must jump to field "activity type" and choose the correct activity type.
    Is there any solution (hopefully with user exits!) to have the field "activity type" automatically updated with the one indicated in the work center, which was entered manually?
    Thanks for your ideas!
    Regards,
    Patrick

    Hi Maheswaran,
    yes, as usual all PM work centers have only 1 activity type assigned in the costing tab.
    We also checked the settings of the activity type (KL03), but we just found one difference: the price indicator was set on 3 "Determined manually" - we've changed to 1 "Plan price, automatically based on activity" (..same setting as for the act. type of the work center with working update of act.type).
    We tested already all possible constellations and scenarios, but we have not found any good reason for the behaviour.
    Thanks for your efforts so far!

  • Cost Center, Work Center and Profit Center

    Hi ALL,
    Can any one please explain me the concept of Cost Center, Work Center and Profit Center.
    And where and when do I assign the cost center???
    Amit

    Hi Check the following "
    Cost centers represent areas of responsibility where costs are incurred or where responsibility for costs may be assigned.  They represent the smallest unit of responsibility within the organizational structure of an enterprise.
    A cost center can be pictured as a ‘cost bucket’ such as a department, product line, production stage or geographical area. 
    An unlimited number of cost centers may be created.
    All cost centers within on controlling area have to be assigned to a cost center hierarchy (standard hierarchy).
    Costs originally posted to one cost center may be distributed and assessed to one or more other cost centers using allocations.
    How are costs assigned/posted to a cost center?
    External financial accounting documents created in FI, AM or MM that post to a G/L expense account can be configured to require a cost center assignment be entered at the time of transaction entry.  The system automatically creates a parallel CO document that posts to the indicated cost center.
    Cost elements master records can be configured to be posted to a certain cost center (automatic account assignment).
    In addition, other non-financial activity (i.e., direct labor hours) may be posted directly to cost centers from within CO or via other modules such as PP  or HR

  • Parallel processing in the same work center

    Dear Guys,
    There is a routing sequence in which some 2-3 operations will occur parallely & those operations will belong to a same work center,How to map those operations in the routing,do i need to maintain parallel processing ,if so then how to go about

    Parallel Sequence
    Definition
    A linear sequence of operations that is parallel to a sequence of operations in the standard sequence.
    Use
    A parallel sequence enables you to process several operations at the same time. A parallel sequence is carried out at the same time as the corresponding section in the standard sequence. It is a special form of overlapping operations.
    Integration
    You can create parallel sequences in routings and rate routings. You cannot create them in reference operation sets or reference rate routings.             Creating a Parallel Sequence
    Call up the sequence overview.
    Choose Edit ® New entries.
    The Choose Sequence Category dialog box appears.
    Select Parallel sequence and press Continue.
    The Sequence Details screen is displayed.
    Enter the necessary data.
    Select Operation overview to create operations for the parallel sequence.
    so particularly in your case

  • How to track chnages done to a work center in past

    Hi all,
    How to track chnages done to a work center in past.
    I have tried Cr10 t cdoe, when i input plant and kept all other fields blank,and still it is not generating any output.
    Am i missing anything,is ther any other tcose or table,pls guide
    Thnx
    HKR

    Hi,
    1) You have to activate Change document indicator in the Transaction OP40 for the Workcenter categories.
    2) And for what are all the fields you wanted to capture the changes, for those data elements you have to ensure that change document is activated in the data dictionary.
    These are the pre-requisite for getting change documnets for the work centers.

  • Regarding work center configuration.

    Hi PP Gurus,
    We need to take an account to Rated Line Speed (Bottles per minute)  (i.e. It should be the current capacity of the bottling line operating at the full rated speed, irrespective of the bottling format).
    We're using Discrete Manufacturing scenario and work center (CR01). How could it be taken into account.
    Is there any alternte way to put an additional fiueld in work center create (CR01)/work center change (CR02) transaction code?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Abu Arbab
    Edited by: abu arbaba on Jan 30, 2009 9:46 AM

    hi,
    What I mentioned is ,  create a reference operation set of one operation with that particular work center  and maintain operation times as the speed of that line  ( 100 bottles for minute should be entered as base qty as 100 and time as 1 min).   Call this reference operation set in any routings that uses this line.
    If you do this,  you don't need additional field in work center and so don't get confused  with it.
    cheers

  • Physical significance of activity type on cost center

    Hi,
         I want to know what is the phsical significance of definiing activity type on cost center.In my situation the activity type is defined on the cost center assigned to the maint. work center.Due to this actual cost is geetting reflected on my order due to the activity rate but physically no such cost is being incurred by the maintenance people.As when any material is consumed on a PM order then the MAP of material  is shown as actual cost in PM order.This is ok.Then how this activity type defining is valid on the cost center when no such work is being carried out.Pls. reply.

    As mentioned in earlier posts, we will assign Cost center & Activity types in Labor work center. In KP26, for this Cost center, Activity type & period (say Jan to Dec 2011), cost (Fixed & Variable) will be maintained.
    Reason to maintain the KP26:
    In Business, sometimes contract labors will be paid on hourly basis. If those people do the Maintenance job, as we are paying them, we need to calculate the labor cost.
    For Permanent employee, company used to pay salary (fixed & variable component on monthly basis). That will be converted into hourly basis & the same will be maintained.
    So that, for expense company doing (paying salary), there should be some offset (getting the work). If you have integration with HR & PM, you can capture the actual hours entered in IW41 in HR time sheet.
    Even though there is no such cost explicitly, these cost should be calculated to arrive at the actual work done on equipment.

  • Work-center timings not reflecting in maintenance order.

    Hi,
    My requirement is, I want the work-center timings to reflect in my call object (Maintenance Order) generated through a maintenance plan.
    My scenario is: I've made a work-center with the following data,
    wrkcntr category as 0005; usage 004; control key PM06 with scheduling indicator checked;
    in capacities start-finish timings as, 06:00-14:00; operating time of 8hrs, and factory calendar is chosen for maint. people.
    The order type say pm08 is selected.
    now in the maint. plan we choose this work center in the planning data field.
    Task-list is also attached and the data are OK.
    in maint. plan scheduling parameter shift factor etc NOT given.
    Now when after schedulling I got one order with the
    SchedStart: DD.MM.YYYY 06:00
    Sched.Fin.: NEXT DATE 06:00
    but I need the date to be 06:00 to 14:00 as in the respective work-center.
    For for fastly solving the problem my analysis:
    I checked the order,goto operation tab,goto dates tab and found that basic finish time of activity is 24:00:00
    If this is the reason than how to make it 08:00:00 default for this order type.
    Thanks in advance,

  • Capacity planning for Work Center

    I programmed time for a Work Center on internal activity, for 40 hr using 100% of one resource, the work center it has  a capacity of 8 hr each day, the activity gets a duration of 5 days and I indicated that it has to begin the first day of the next month.
    When I executed transaction CM01, I notice that the 40 hours are planned for the actual day and don´t respect the dates of the internal activity, I think it is a problem with the work center but do not find the error.
    Any suggestion where to look for?
    The data used for creating the Work Center on Capacities:
    - Capacity Category : 002 Person
    - Other formula: SAP008
    The data used for capacity:
    - Base unit of meas.:H
    - Start: 08:00:00
    - Finish: 17:00:00
    - Capacity utilization: 100
    - No. of indiv. cap.:1
    - Unit: H
    - Relevant to finite scheduling: active
    - Can be used by several operations: active
    - Long-term planning: active
    The data used for creating the Work Center on  Scheduling:
    - Capacity Category: 002 Person
    - Other formula: SAP004
    - Work dimension: Time
    - Work unit: H

    Hi,
    Please activate the capacity requirement in Capacity tab in CNR2.
    Thanks..

  • Same order start date for 4 FG in same work center

    Hi All,
          I have four different Finished goods all have same lead time and same requirement date in same work center, I didn't have capacity planning so all FG have same start date in same work center after MRP run, how it is practically possible on the shopfloor.
    Is there any solution available.
    Sekhar

    The fact of running MRP (with or without Lead time scheduling) has nothing to do with the leveling of capacity. Lets consider both cases :
    Indicator "1" :
    - No capacity load is determined
    - Basic Dates from material master calculated to cover the requirements.
    Indicator "2" :
    - Capacity Loads are calculated.
    - Dates coming from recipes or routings calculated to fulfill the material requirements.
    - Overload displayed in CM01
    What you need is to run Capacity Leveling (CM25, CM29 ), dispatching the orders to the work center in a feasible date. But this step is never included in MRP run.
