Understanding Work Center Creation
You use work centers to define each production facility on the shop floor where routing instruction operations occur. Once you set up the work centers, you can enter costing and accounting information so that you can generate reports and journal entries. As you set up work centers, you associate them with particular branch/plants. This association enables you to use the same work center in different branch/plants. The system stores work center information in the Work Center Master table (F30006).
Enter work center information that corresponds to the facilities on the shop floor, such as dispatch group; pay point; crew size; and queue, move, and replenishment hours. You can also enter a shop floor calendar for the work center, even though the system does not validate this information.
If you are using JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Plant & Equipment Management, you enter work center information that corresponds to the maintenance labor groups.
