Archiving Work Centers and Capacities (PP-BD-WKC)

Definition

Archiving object PP_WKC for the archiving of work centers and capacities in the Production Planning and Control (PP) component.

Note Note

This archiving object has been revised within the framework of a project for standardizing and optimizing the data archiving process. You can use the standardized archiving object by activating the business function Data Archiving: Standardization of Archiving Objects (technical name DA_ARCHOBJ_STANDARD_1). For more information, refer to the business function documentation in the Switch Framework (transaction SFW5) under Data Archiving: Standardization of Archiving Objects .

End of the note.

Note Note

You can use the archiving object within the framework of Information Lifecycle Management . A prerequisite for this is that you have activated the associated business functions. The system then additionally shows the ILM Actions frame. With these actions, you can carry out an archiving process in which the retention periods stored in the Information Retention Manager are evaluated, for example. Furthermore, you can create snapshots (copies) of data or destroy data that satisfies the applicable prerequisites. For more information, see the ILM Actions in Write Program section of ILM Enhancements for Data Archiving .

End of the note.

Use

You can archive work centers that you no longer need. During the archiving process, the system writes archive files for the data and deletes the data from the system once it has been archived successfully.

You can archive and delete work center data and work center capacities with the archiving object PP_WKC. You can delete the capacities that are directly assigned to the work center. However, you cannot delete pooled capacities and reference capacities.

There is currently no provision for displaying and reloading the archived data.

  • Work center header data (CRHD)

  • Short descriptions of the work center (CRTX)

  • Assignment of work center to cost center (CRCO)

  • Assignment of work center to grouping subsystem connection (T705R)

  • Descriptions of the grouping subsystem connection (T705X)

  • Assignment of CAP procedure to work centers (VERTE)

  • CAP procedure texts (VERFT)

  • Classification (archiving class CLASSIFY)

  • Change documents (archiving class CHANGEDOCU)

  • Long text (archiving class TEXT)

  • Assignment of alternative units of measure to capacity (KAPE)

  • Shift definition (daily work schedule) (T550A)

  • Work break schedule (T550P)

  • Links to PD (HRP1001)

Customizing Data

To record the presettings under which the work centers and capacities have been archived, the following Customizing settings are archived:

  • Settings for formulas:

    • Formula parameters (TC20)

    • Texts for formula parameters (TC20T)

    • Standard value keys (TC21)

    • Texts for standard value keys (TC21T)

    • Work center formulas (TC25)

    • Short descriptions for formulas (TC25T)

  • General settings:

    • Person responsible for work center (TC24)

    • Task list use (TC23)

    • Texts for task list use (TC23T)

Selection Criteria

You can select work centers for archiving according to the following criteria:

  • Plant

  • Work center

  • Work center category

  • Person responsible for work center

In addition to the selection criteria mentioned, you can select work centers via the deletion flag.

Caution Caution

The archiving and deletion of work centers is carried out independently of the deletion flag.

End of the caution.
