Work Center Setup

You can maintain general information about a work center, such as pay points, prime load codes, number of machines and workers, crew size, and backflush locations. You set up work centers by branch/plant, which means that you can associate the same work center with multiple branch/plants. You can also define a unique shop floor calendar for a particular combination of work center and branch/plant.

From the Enter/Change Work Centers program (P3006), you can access business unit information to maintain business units and track costs.

Note: If you use JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Warehouse Management and do not set up valid work center locations, the system interfaces with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Warehouse Management when you attach a parts list to a work order. If you set up valid work center locations before you attach a parts list, but the work order quantity exceeds the quantity that you have in the work center, the system uses JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Warehouse Management to create a pick request for the remaining quantity to fill the work order request. This process follows the rules that you define in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Warehouse Management.

Use the Enter/Change Work Centers program to set up production lines for repetitive manufacturing. This setup consists of linking work centers together to establish a specific repetitive line on which a product family will be manufactured.
