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).

Integration

  • 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.

Prerequisites

SAP ERP
  • 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   Integration with a Manufacturing Execution System   Basic Settings for MES Integration  ).

  • You have created the following work center categories in Customizing for Production under   Basic Data   Work Center   General Data   Define Work Center Category  :

    • Work center category 9000

      Note 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.

      End of the note.
    • Work center category 9100

      Note 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.

      End of the note.

      For more information, see Configuration of Work Centers.
