Transfer of Work Center to Resource/Work Center

This function enables the transfer of work center master data from SAP ERP using the LOIWCS02 IDoc to create the corresponding resource or work center record in SAP ME (see Resource and Work Center).

Integration

In SAP ERP, an operation is executed at a work center.
In SAP ERP, data stored in the work center is used 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 in the event that 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 work center.
- Assignments to objects in the Human Resource Management System – A Logistics work center can be assigned to either 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).
You have defined DRF Replication Model to replicate LOIWCS02 IDocs (in Customizing for Production, choose Integration with a Manufacturing Execution System Basic Settings for MES Integration ). For information about SAP ERP versions supporting DRF, see SAP Note 1793291.
You have created the following work center categories in Customizing for Production under Basic Data Work Center General Data Define Work Center Category . For more information, see Configuration of Work Centers.
- Work center category 9000
  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
  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.
Note
You can also transfer a work center with individual capacities to create the corresponding work center with nested resources in SAP ME (see Transfer of Work Center with Individual Capacities).

End of the note.
You have verified that all work centers have the same activity types arranged in the same sequence.

Activities

You create a work center master record in SAP ERP (see Creating, Changing and Displaying Work Centers).
You send it to SAP ME (see Procedure: Select Master Data).
See also: Integration of Master Data
If the category of the SAP ERP work center is 9000, SAPMEINT creates a work center in SAP ME (see Work Center Maintenance). If the category of the SAP ERP work center is 9100, SAPMEINT creates a resource in SAP ME (see Resource Maintenance).
