Hi gurus,

Hello Hernan
the Work Area is defined as: take a look here
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/1f/ea8e69e09311d3b5700004ac160be0/content.htm
Therefore there is a link available between work area, plant and cost center.
Work Center is defined as: take a look here:

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
To my knowledge there is no "direct" link between these objects.
Further on on the level of the Work Area (to my knowledge) you define: which employee etc. is linked  to the work area ((is working in the work area).
So to my knowledge there are a number of "indirect" links between both objects but no direct link
With best regards
