Work Center Line Hierarchy

Hi Team,
I am working on PP repetitive manufacturing process. In one of the SAP document it has been mentioned like, if it is complex production line, create line hierarchy. What is line hierarchy? What is the difference between line hierarchy and production line?
In which transaction shall i create line hierarchy?
Thanks
Kumar

Hi,
Use the T-code CR21 to creating the line Hierarchy, also find the below link for more information about the Work Hierarchy.

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?

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.

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...

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.

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

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.
Rasika.

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.

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

Difference of work center Vs Cost center

Hi,
Let me know what is the difference between cost center vs work center with definition?
Thanks and regards
Ramesh

Cost Center One of the three types of cost objects currently used in the SAP system. Cost centers are centrally allocated funds, budgeted on the fiscal year.
Cost centers are used to track where cost occur in the organization.
As costs are incurred, they are assigned or posted to the appropriate cost center.
The posting and assignment of costs to cost centers is a critical step in using the CO module.
Cost centers are organized in a Standard Hierarchy.
The Cost Center Standard Hierarchy is used to structure the cost centers in an organization.
All cost centers must be entered in the Standard Hierarchy.
To display the standard hierarchy follow the menu path:
Accounting ->Controlling ->Cost Center Accounting ->Master data ->Standard Hierarchy ->Display
Work center its specific to which application you are using.
Logistics - General (LO)
An organizational unit that defines where and when an operation must be performed.
The work center has an available capacity. The activities performed at or by the work center are valuated by charge rates, which are determined by cost centers and activity types. Work centers can be:
Machines
People
Production lines
Groups of craftsmen
Quality Management (QM)
A place at which inspections are conducted.
In the SAP System, work centers are entered in the inspection operations. Several inspection characteristics can be inspected for each work center or inspection operation.
Warehouse Management
A physical unit in the warehouse, in which warehouse activities such as packing, distribution, and weighing, can be performed.
Example
Packing station

Main Work center ?

Dear All,
Can you please explain,
How to create main work centre & work center.
How can we differentiate the two after creation.
What is the use of work center hierarchy.
AR

Hi Amit,
About Work Center : Work Center is a person, a group of persons, a machine or a group of machines.
Just understand the above lines. this is the basic defination of work center independent from any PP or PM work center.
Now, if work center is created to perform Maintenance tasks with * work center category 0005 * those work centers are called maintenance work centers.
( Generally persons or group of persons are created as work center in PM)
If work center is created to perform Production tasks with * work center category 0002 * those work centers are called PP work centers.
(Generally Machines or group of machines are created as work centers in PP)
In Plant maintenance, work centers can be defined in Hierarchy i.e. work center heirarchy is possible.
take an example: you have created a work center with a group of people. you need to define who would be person responsible for this group & also you can define the persons heirarchy with the integration of HR.( e.g. Manager-Senior Engineer- Engineer-Associate Engineer- Senior Fitter- Fitter)
The difference in one word is : Both are work centers but having different category & being used to perform different kind of tasks.
For the trasaction : i would only like to say that while creating from PM nodes by t-code IR01, system give you default work center category 0005.
I hope i am able to solve ur query for some extent.
Thanks,
PMGURU

Some error in creation of Work Center

Dear Experts,
After completely creating the project, I tried to check the chart for scheduling, but to my surprise no dates were appearing and the scheduling chart was also not proper. After lots of permutation and combinations I realised that the work center(RENOV) that I created had some effect(or difference) that the dates and duration was not getting picked up from the internal activity tab on project builder(CJ20N) screen.
Hence I created a new Work Center (Ren1), which was just a copy of another working Work Center. When I used this work center along with my existing activity (ABCD) I could see the duration appearing in the dates tab and my project could also show proper schedule lines.
I did side by side comparison of the RENOV and REN1, apparently they are alike in appearance. I am curious to know what could be the reason for this anomaly.
Thanks
Manish

Hi,
Did you check the on the Costing tab, whether Validity period of the Cost Center is correctly showing.
Thanks

Select the work center in sales order

Hello gurus,
When I create a saler order, the system create automatically a service order with the corresponding data which are reported in transaction OISD for the service material. The key of this table only permits a work center for one material service and plant. And it is impossible to add more work centers for the same service material and plant.
So I need to be able to choose the work center when I generate the sales order. How can I get it?
Thanks in advance

Dear Venkat,
Try These tabels:
MARC Plant Data for Material
/BEV1/RBVBAP                     Sales Document: Item Data
COER                             Sales Order Value Revenue
VBAP                             Sales Document: Item Data
VSVBAP_CN                        Version: Sales document: Item data
VVBAP                            Sales Document: Item Data
GLPPC                            Profit Center Accounting: Plan line items
GLSPC                            Profit Center Accounting: Line Items

Buyer Work Center Document Builder Error in Purchasing

Hi Gurus,
I am getting this error in BWC(Buyer Work Center) for PO's which can be updated by using Requistion Tab choosing update in document builder for existing PO's.
next sequel number is not populated in update document builder page for PO's. did any one faced this kind of problem. This is not happening with all of the user systems, only with few that's wierd.
Navigation:
Purchasing Super User >> Buyer Work Center >> Requisition
Here selecting requisition number to be added/updated to existing PO's. once we do "Add To Order" update for PO in document builder.
Immediately throwing an error below, actually it should take next line to existing PO, its not happening.
*"You cannot combine this line with another line because the Item Numbers are different."*
What would be cause for this, I tried in Metalink oracle support to find something on this, But No luck.
Please advice, what steps to be taken to resolve this.
Thanks to all..
