Hi,
Extract from help.sap.com
===========================================================================
Use of Work Center Hierarchies
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 factory you have several lathes. You create a higher-level work center, called "Machine center 3", which you use to cumulate the available capacity of several lathes.

Cost centre hierarchy

What s the purpose of dealing with cost centre hierarchy?(Financial->Cost accounting-> cost centre hierarchy)
Where does this actualy fits into?
Regards,
vasanthi.

Hello vasanthi,
Please look for the information on Cost Center via B1 online help.
1. Financials->Cost Accounting->Define Cost Center Hierarchy, here
you can define a new template as you need, add department as
Slibling and add various expenses/revenues as the Child to relevant
department.
2. Financials->Cost Accounting->Profit Center - Report-> Select the
Dimension used in the template from the drop down list then tick the
radio button before 'Template' and select the template you have defined,
then click 'OK'.
Link between cost center hierarchy and chart of accounts:
First of all, you define the various cost centers or departments in your
company as profit centers.
Then assign revenue and expense accounts to the profit centers so that
any data relevant to a profit center can
be updated automatically for all transactions entered in the system.
(This is where we have a link between chart of accounts and cost center
hierarchy).
Costs are allocated to the profit centers using information that you
define in a distribution rule. This means that any costs incurred willbe
allocated to the profit centers on the basis of a specific key.
If you decide that the way in which costs are allocated no longer
reflects the way in which your company works, you simply change the
distribution rule as required.

How to measure work centre performance in the pp point and pm pinot of view

Dear Guru`s,
how to evaluate the work centre performance in the pp,pm point?
how to evaluate the OEE (overall equipment efficieny)?
can anybody suggest that, if there is any transactions are avialable to get the reports or any process is to be followed to evaluate these?.

hi
you can evaluate the PM work center using t-codes
CR05 - Work Center List
CR06 - Cost Center Assignment
CR07 - Work Center Capacity
CR08 - Work Center Hierarchy
with this you can get the requirment,available and overlaod of the capacity
OEE cannot be directly calculated you can develop the custom based program to calulate the one with available input,( available hrs,down time hrs)

What is Work centre

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.

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.

Profit Centre Hierarchy Change and Profit Centre Budget

Hello Friends
For better view of Profit Centre Reports we are planing to change the Profit Centre Hierarchy.
I wanted to know that, are there some Specific Points which we have to take care of, before changing the Hierarchy?
Will some other settings get affected in System after changing the Hierarchy?
Also i want to know the TCode for entering Profit Centre Budget in System.
regards
prashant

Hi,
Profit centre planning (there is no budget for profit centres) is entered via 7KE1 transaction. If you change your hierarchy you should think of the effect on your reporting and allocation processes. That is if you use certain group in your cost allocation cylce and now you change it, it might have an effect on costs distribution.

Hello,
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.
