Work Center
Definition
Organizational object (object key A) used to depict work centers that exist in your enterprise in your organizational plan. A work center identifies the physical location where work is carried out. A work center can be defined by a general place description (Philadelphia, for example) or a very specific place description (office 105, desk III, for example).
Use
When you create a work center, you create a work center index for your enterprise. The work centers listed here can then be assigned to other organizational units, positions, for example.
You can assign characteristics to work centers.

a position (or more than one position) via relationship A/B 003 (belongs to / includes)
