Work Center Hierarchy and Routing

Hi,
I would like to know what exactly Work Center hierarchy mean?. Where is it used. In Routing, we maintain Sequence of operation along with workcenter where this operations are performed . Would like to know does work center hierarchy is linked to sequence maintained in Routing?. Thanks

Hi,
Any one can explain me the use of Workcenter Hierarchy?. In Routing, we maintain the sequence of operations. Does Routing and Workcenter Hierarchy has relation?. If Yes, what is the relation between these 2.
Thanks in advance

Work Center Hierarchy and Capacity

Hello SAP friends,
Can someone please help me with the following scenario?
I have 3 Work Centers
MAQ00 - (Capacity 10:00 x 2)
MAQ01 - 8:00 -- 18:00 (Capacity 10:00)
MAQ02 - 8:00 -- 18:00 (Capacity 10:00)
I have a hierarchy
HICY01
MAQ00 - Root of hierarchy
|_ MAQ01
|_ MAQ02
Then, I have a routing
10 - PP01 - MAQ00 - 1H
20 - PP01 - MAQ00 - 2H
If I go to CM01 for Work Center MAQ00 I can see the capacity and requirement, where:
Capacity: 10:00 x 2
Requirement: 3:00
But if I go to transaction CM21 for Work Center MAQ00 the capacity and requirement is not correct. Can someone please help me with this?
Thanks in advance,
Adelmo Silva

Hi,
CM01 will give the cumulative requirement as 3 hrs but CM21(Gradhical View) shows the individual spread of oprn. 10 and 20 as 1H and 2 H resp.
Does the above help you?

Work center Hierarchy

Dear Gurus,
How can I use work center Hierarchy for Capacity Planning.
I have 5 Lathe machines. How can I use Work Center Hierarchy?
I also need Work Center Wise confirmation.
Please guide me. Also let me know how should I maintain data in work center as well as in routing.
Thanks in advance
RG

Create a new WC (in CR01) as category 0004. This will be the top level WC in your hierarchy. <BR sab="44">Create a hierarchy (in CR21). <BR sab="46">Add your 5 lathes and the newly created top level WC to the hierarchy (in CR22). This can be tricky: the WC you just created must be the top level, the other 5 must be under it. <BR sab="50">Pull the capacity data (in CM01) for the hierarchy: go to settings, hierarchy, check the cumulation of requirements and capacities and type the hierarchy name. <BR sab="54">Route things as before, to the original 5 lathes.

Capacity cumulation in work center hierarchy

Hello
Does anyone uses workcenter hierarchies to cumulate capacity requirements ?
I've created a hierarchy but in the capacity evaluation transaction cm01,
the capacity requirements are not cumulated from the underlying work center.
Instead a capacity requirement of zero is shown on the hierarchy work center.
Is there any specifics to cumulate the capacity requirement to work center hierarchy header
Best regards
Pascal

Hi,
In the transaction CM01, choose the pull-down menu Settings-> General. In the pop-up screen, under the "Herarchy" tab, select the check boxes "Cumulation of reqmts" and "Dyn. capacity cumulation", choose the "Hierarchy" and "Plant" and click on "Continue".
Now the "Available Capacity" will be as per hierarchy setup and Rem. avail cap = Reqmts-Available capacity.
Hope this solves the requirement.

Capacity planning at Work center Hierarchy level

Hi,
I have created Work center Hierarchy, now want to see the cumulative capacity of subordinate work centers at Superior Work center level, but using cm01- std overview, i can't see.
Can anybody tell me , what-ever is missing?
with thanks,
Rasika

HI Mangalraj,
Thanks for your reply. I had tried that , even though there is no cummulation done.
System is showing same error ,as 'There are no capacity requirements for the
selection and settings'.
what i have given input is Superior Work Center, Plant and Planner group.
I didn't mentioned the capacity at superior WC.
PLEASE HELP.

Profit center hierarchy and cost center hierarchy

Hi
What are the things we have to consider to create Profit center hierarchy and cost center hierarchy and what is the need to assign profit center hierarchy to profit center and cost center hierarchy to cost center. What levels does this fall into? Can some one please guide me.
Thanks.

As you would for any other infoobject
Activate the business content hierarchy datasources on R3 for cost centre and profit centre
Go into BW - replicate the metadata
Then just connect via transformations or transfer rules the datasources to yoru infosources or master data objects
Create an infopackage per hierarchy!!!!! - press the button available hirachies from OLTP - click the one you want on the left - fire it off
Then repeat new infopackages for all hierachies

Work center design and operation confirmation

Hi All,
In my scenario im grouping the similar m/c to a work center
say for ex. 4 lathes m/c into a single work center as LatheALL and also the indiv cap as 4
my customer wants the traceability in which m/c the job is done
So i had designed in such a way that
1 LatheALL -4 cap(this will be additional wc)
2. lathe1 - 1cap
3.lathe2 - 1cap
4.lathe3-1cap
5.lathe4-1cap
in the routing only latheALL will be given., this will help customer in planning
when going for operation confirmation i will give confirmation for that operation and will confirm as lathe1or lathe2 or etc.. this will help prodn dept for traceability in which m/c the work is done
this is method i have informed to client .,
pls advice is this approach is correct ?
also suggest by giving confirmation for another work center will the capacity for the original work center will be reduced
Regards
Anand Srinivasan

Hi Anand,
this is method i have informed to client .,
pls advice is this approach is correct ?
yes, during confirmation time to enter the orginal actual work center, this suitable for your client requirement, do the settings for OPK0 - change the confirmations parameters (0410 or 0420)

PP work center capacity and link in Equipment master

Dear All
My client has five equipments which he is clubing them into one work center with five capacities. In equipment master i have given for respective equipments i have given PP work center locations but when i create a maint order for one equip then in planning the capacity avalability is affecting the entire work center for ex if the total work on one equip is 12 hrs then only 8 hrs of capcity should be deducted for to day and 4 hrs for tommorow but in plannig all 12 hrs are getting deducted in todays capacity itself.
Pls give some inputs from your experiances
Thanks and Regards
Pankaj

Hi,
Even if we have more than One Equipments in the same work center, PP-PM integration will work.
This is the standard scenario in any Process Industry or in case of an Assembly line of a Automobile manufacturing industry.
So it should work. Please check the following points again,
1. Assignment of Work Center to Equipment Master
2. System Condition - '0' Not in Operation in Both header as well as against Individual Operations (in Work Order for that Equipment)
3. Work Order has been released.
4. Same Work Center is used in Routing and the same is Planned for a period.
If we have all the above points right, then while dispatching the Production Order system should show the Period of block and should shift/plan the PO accordingly.

Upload/ download Work Center Hierarchy

Hello All,
I need your help with this one. Therefore thanks in Advace:
Is there a way to download and upload work center hierarchies?
The idea ist to download a complex hierarchy to a file and then upload it to another system/ client.
Thanx
Raf

Hi Daniele,
I just tried the way you suggested:
- RCRAPDX1 downloaded a txt to presentation server with data.
- changed only the plant in file.
- run RCRAPDX2
unfortunately result is that ths system try to maintain the work centers within the file,
(which are already maintained).
The hierarchy structure won't be maintained.
So what I look for is a manner to transport the complete hierarchy structure...

raf

CO11N work center mandatory and without default

Dear guru,
i need to make work center mandatory in CO11N and without any default
from production routing.
I donu2019t want to use SHD0.
Do you suggest any exit to obtain this ?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I believe the user-exit which you should look at is:
CONFPP03 PP order conf.: Cust. specific check after op. selection
or
CONFPP05 PP order conf.: Customer specific enhancements when saving
Check with your abaper if the above can meet your need.

hi,
i am sending the information about
Maintaining Individual Capacities in the workcenter,
Prerequisites
Individual capacities are used in capacity planning for more detailed resource planning. For instance, you can divide a machine capacity into several individual machines and maintain an available capacity for each machine. Capacity requirements can then be distributed among the individual capacities. If you do not maintain an available capacity for an individual capacity, it is calculated from the operating time of the capacity to which the individual capacity has been assigned.
Individual capacities have the same capacity categories as the capacities to which they are assigned.
In order to be able to create individual capacities the CapCatPers indicator for the capacity category must not be set in Customizing.
Procedure
Assigning Individual Capacities
On the header screen choose Goto ® Individual capacities.
The Assignments to Individual Capacities screen appears.
Define the individual capacities.
Maintaining Available Capacities for Individual Capacities
In the Assignments to Individual Capacities screen place the cursor on the individual capacity whose available capacity you want to maintain.
If the Maintnd indicator has been set, then an available capacity has been maintained for this individual capacity.
thanks

Regarding work center hierarchy

Hi all,
I have 2 work centers liked to a superior work center in a hirarchy.
Is it possible to do capacity planning at the superior work center level.
The scenario is like this - I will get planned order at a superior work center level. I will convert the planned order into 2 production orders with child work centers in respective order.
Now I want that, when I see the capacity overview for the superior work center, it should be full. That means I want to link the capacities of the child work centers to the parent work center.
Please let me know if it is possible ?
Regards,
Yogesh

Hi,
Work center hierarchies are used in capacity planning to cumulate available capacity and capacity requirements. You can cumulate available capacities from subordinate work centers to a superior work center level in order to determine the total available capacity for the superior work center.
In your situation, I think you need to create two planned orders with the two work centers and after this you will be able to see the capacity requirements cumulated at the superior WC.

Buyer Work Center performance and persoanlizations

Hi All,
we are currently on R12.1.3 and we've few issues with the way the Buyer Work Center is working
1) The performance of BWC is very slow. Navigating from one field to another field takes at least 5seconds. For fields like project, task, org etc the form takes 10seconds also. Combining all this, creating a PO with 10 lines takes about 10-15mins for our users. Is this normal? Are there ways to improve the performance?
2) There are multiple screens to navgiate. First the users start off with header then to line summary and then to line details/schedules/distributions etc. Is there a simple way to make all information available in one single page so that the users do not have to spend time navigating from one screen to another screen? This will be really helpful for users creating POs with more than 10lines. I'm thinking of persoanlizing the PO line summary screen and make POET available there. Has anyone done any customizations to the PO line summary screen?
I'm sure you must have faced similar issues with your clients. Please let me know if you handled these issues.
Thanks,

Has anyone done any customizations to the PO line summary screen? Same question was asked by my client, I recommended them to go directly to the "Distributions" tab and search for the PO. Actually most of the key fields from the header, lines, shipments and distributions are available at the distribution tab and you can add many more fields by clicking on the "Add Another" field. Moreover, you can save the final view for future reference so that you don't need to add the same fields again.
Yes, it is a workaround, as you will see repeated lines for multi shipment and distribution scenarios but single shipment - distribution scenario will be OK.
Thanks,
PS.

Profit center hierarchy and closure transactions

Hi fellows,
My company is reorganised.
As the annual closure will last several months, I will need to run 2 profit center hierarchies at the same time.
I will copy the standard hierarchy 2009.
The standard hierarchy 2009 will be modified and used for 2010.
The copy will become an alternative hierarchy used to close 2009 accountancy.
Do you see any problems to run 2 hierarchies at the same time?
Is it possible to make the annual closure with an alterative hierarchy for transactions (KKAJ, KSII, KB15N...)
Thanks a lot
Vero

Hi
You can maintain as many number of hierarchies as possible.
There is absolutely no problem to maintain any alternative hierarchy but you can't maintain multiple standard hierarchies.
Profit Centre Standard Hieararchy T.Code is KCH1 - Create, KCH5N - Change, KCH6N - Display
Profit Centre Group (Alternative hierarchy) T.Code is KCH1 - Create, KCH2 - Change, KCH3 - Display.
