Export and Import Work Center Resource Units for Plant Calendar Shifts in the Setup and Maintenance Work Area

Prior to this update, the migration of setup data for work center resource unit allocations required manual data entry to ensure an exact copy exists in the test and production environments. Now you can export and import the number of work center resource units available for each shift based on a plant calendar. You can also monitor the progress of this setup data export and import process and review the process results to address any errors or warnings.

Using the Functional Setup Manager Export feature, you can export the details of the work center resources and the shift units of the resources. Thereafter, you can add new resources and import the resource shift units for the existing as well as the newly added resources using the Functional Setup Manager Import feature. The export and import actions are managed using the CSV files. The resource shift units are managed for the work centers as per the plant calendar only.

Export and import processes for the setup of work center resource units allocated in a plant calendar shift facilitates the automation of the data migration process. As a result, it reduces the time to replicate and verify the same data exists between test and production environments.
