Understanding the Work Center Resource Units Generation Program

After you set up work centers and whenever you revise work center information, you must run the Work Center Resource Units Refresh program to calculate available resource units. You specify a time period and a branch or plant for which you want the system to calculate resource units. The system uses the Prime Load Code field on the Work Center Master Revisions form to determine how to calculate the resource units that a work center is capable of generating over a particular period of time. To calculate resource units for maintenance work centers, you typically use a prime load code of L for labor hours.

When you use a prime load code of L, the system calculates resource units using this information:

• Number of employees from Resource Revisions.

• Work hours per day from General Planning Constants.
