This function enables the transfer of work center master data from SAP ERP to SAP ME to create the corresponding resource or work center record in SAP ME (see Resource and Work Center).
Operations are carried out at a work center in SAP ERP.
The data stored in the work center is used in SAP ERP for the following:
Routings
Work centers are assigned to operations in task lists. If default values are changed in a work center, the changes are effective in the task list if a reference indicator has been set for the default value.
Work center hierarchies
Work centers can be arranged in hierarchies. Hierarchies are used in capacity planning to cumulate available capacities and capacity requirements in a hierarchy or work centers.
Assignments to objects in the Human Resource Management System A Logistics work center can be assigned to an organizational unit or a work center in the Human Resource Management System (HRMS).
Assignments to other HR objects, for example employees or qualifications, can be maintained via the HR work center.
You have set up ALE communication to create and transmit LOIWCS IDocs (see Customizing for ALE for Communication with SAP ME).
For configuration type C (see SAPMEINT: SAP ERP Configuration), you have also defined DRF Replication Model to replicate LOIWCS02 IDocs (in Customizing for Production, choose ).
You have created the following work center categories in Customizing for Production under
:Work center category 9000
Note
You create the work center category 9000 in SAP ERP for work centers which are intended to be work centers in SAP ME. When you transfer these ERP work centers to SAP ME, SAPMEINT creates work centers in SAP ME.
Work center category 9100
Note
You create the work center category 9100 in SAP ERP for work centers which are intended to be resources in SAP ME. When you transfer these ERP work centers to SAP ME, SAPMEINT creates resources in SAP ME.
For more information, see Configuration of Work Centers.
You have verified that all work centers have the same activity types arranged in the same sequence.
You create or update a work center master record in SAP ERP (see Creating, Changing and Displaying Work Centers).
You send the record to SAP ME (see Procedure: Select Master Data).
