Missing Fields in Work Center Basic Data Screen

While creating work center with CR01, in basic data view, I could not find shift note type, shift report type, back flush tick fields were not found in sand box. Please advise where is the settings to appear the same.

Suggested Answer:

Go to OPFA

Click on Basic data Field, you will find Modifiable fields.

In that first field will be Blackflush field, please check the radio button it might be HIDDEN, make it to INPUT .

For shift time, this you will find in work center -- Capacity Screen that to when you enter Capacity category you give the Labour 001.

Work Center Basic Data View

1. In work center basic data view, what are the meanings of various options of the ‘Rule for Maintenance’?

2. What do we mean by performance efficiency rate?

I have the case for MRP below: ‘Company 1000, Purchasing department create PO for parts A.

Design department create BOM using parts A1.

Actually, A1 is A just with some version change by the vendor.

While running MRP, A1 should be short of parts since there is no outstanding quantity defined for it.

Will there be any solution to allow the MRP to run for such a case, without users changing their PO?

Suggested Answer:

The rule for maintenance is based on how you want to control the input of the standard values in routing (for an operation involving the work center).

‘Should / may not - generally means only a warning, “must” is mandatory.’

Performance efficiency rate is the rate that the work center is  working at. 100%  is normal working rate. If you alter

the effectiveness of the work center, the standard times in capacity planning & costing are altered against the new rate.

If A and A1 have been maintained as two different material items (i.e. two different material number in SAP), then it is not feasible.

Instead, you can use auto-backflush to make the conversion between these two parts when receiving goods.

Work Center Formula

Why do we need different formula for setup requirements and processing time requirements in capacity tap & scheduling tab?

Suggested Answer:

These formulas are used for capacity planning and scheduling of orders during execution as well planning of orders and materials.

One formula is used for time calculation of one piece and the other is used for scheduling that is to indicate the number of pieces.

In a nutshell, capacity is used for determining the actual capacity  requirements, whereas scheduling is  used  to determine the basic dates.
