Work Centre within BOM

Hi all,
I am working in a manufacturing company, and the company is considering to use SAP B1 to replace the current system. However, we are not fully confident on how SAP B1 handles work centre within BOM.
The current system:
We have 10-12 work centre that works as a cost centre and it is associated with the machineries we have. In that work centre setting, we set labour cost, production speed, number of production in an hour etc, the purpose is to enable calculating the production cost per item and for other purposes as well.
We also have work sequences, that will pretty much handle the sequences in producing items. The relationship between work centre and work sequence is one to many or one to one.
Does SAP B1 have this capability?
Another question will be in regard to barcoding. I understand that there is add-on to handle barcoding and RFID. My question is whether the SAP B1 add-on can handle the automatic process of updating the system when the barcode scanner is used, or do we have to update the system manually?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Regards
Ferdinand

Hi Hendry,
Many thanks for your suggestion. My company's objective is replicating the the current DBA Manufacturing system, that means saving monies whenever possible to do so. The primary option is AIO, however the Board asked project members to explore the possibilities to implement B1.
I will conclude now that B1 is be good enough to fully replicate DBA Manufacturing without hassles of implementing heaps of add-ons.
Thanks everyone.
I'd like to keep the thread on, in case if I have further questions.
Regards
Ferdinand

    Hi,
    Work Center - represents a unit that is capable of performing work. It can be a group of person, equipment and special resources used to MANAGE the work order and/or PERFORM work order operations during maintenance execution. It can be used to model a resource availability within the organisation. There are 2 types, Main Work Center (responsible for overall managemetn of the work) and Operational Work Center (executes the operation activities).
    Planner Group - represents a person or group of persons responsible for the PLANNING and PROCESSING of several maintenance Work Orders.

  • 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.

    Hi
    Work Center
    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.

    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.

  • 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.

    hi
    you can make the default cost element by creating the external profile in IMG and assigning to the order type ,also in easy access screen during order creation you can mention as default values in the menu Extras>settings>default values
    As per what cost element has to be specified kindly consult with the CO team,regarding the mandatory field may be you have specified the fields as mandatory in IMG settings,kindly check

    During creation of production order, i want  to change the work centre if in the existing operation, that particular work centre is overloaded.

    then execute the report RHSTRU00 with the eveluation path.

  • IW32 Auto update of profit centre when work centre is changed

    Hi... we have some difficulties with PM exits. Basically, if the work centre for an order is changed in IW32, SAP does not automatically re-populate the profit centre and cost centre associated with the changed work centre. To try to achieve this I have implemented the Sap suggested exits EXIT_SAPLCOIH_005/IWO10005 (for profit centre) and EXIT_SAPLCOIH_025/IWO10025 (for cost centre).  The cost centre exit works. For the profit centre exit  to work (invoke EXIT_SAPLCOIH_005) it needs profit centre to be blank. Being change mode (IW32) this field is populated already and asking the users to blank the profit centre field beforehand is not practical. Tried to see if auto blanking the profit centre field as soon as the work centre field is changed is possible... but there is no exit triggered at that point to do this.  It appears that EXIT_SAPLCOIH_005 is triggered before anything else. Any ideas on how Profit Centre can be updated? (I have tried previous exit suggestions here). Thanks...

    Profit Centres are generally applicable only for Revenue & Expense accounts.
    When you load the opening balances, it affect the Inventory Account which is an Account Account and that is why there is no Profit Centre marked in the JE.

  • Difference in Main work centre and Operation workcentre

    Hello PM Gurus,
    In CS order, we have two work centres. One at header level called as Main work centre and another at operation level.
    Why do we have two work centres. The one at operation level itself should have been enough.
    There is a main work centre at functional location too ( Organisation tab). So what is the connection if we use this functional location as the reference while creating a CS order.
    Please reply soon.
    Cheers
    Sunny

    Hi Sunny,
    The work center at haeder i.e., Main Work Center is the reponsible work center(say a department). It means it takes the reponsibility of the whole job mentioned in that work order(or job given by production dept.). Now, assume , it further distributes the whole work to its own sub-dept or different work centers as per nature of job. Say, electrical related work to elec work centers etc., by ,means of assigning to different operations.
    The Main work center's cost center will be copied as responsible cost center in Additional data TAB of the order.Now thus you see commercially the responsibility of doing the job lies with the responsible cost center (or say Main work center).
    Hope it is clear.
