Purpose of Configuration
The work center category determines the data that can be maintained in a work center and,
center and,
therefore, the functions (for example, costing or scheduling) for which the work center can
be used.
Each work center category is assigned to the applications (for example, production, plant
maintenance or quality management) whose menus allow you to t o maintain work centers
with this category.
Each work center category has a number of screens assigned to it which the system displays
when work centers of this category are displayed. The screens contain groups of fields (for

On change view “Reduction strategy”: Overview screen the relevant options are selected.
Purpose of Configuration
In this step wage groups for operations and work centers is defined.
By assigning an operation or a work center to a wage group you can evaluate the work to be
performed in the operation from a job evaluation point of view (for instance suitable for
unskilled labor or requiring special training). When you confirm the operation, you enter the
wage group that was actually used.
In the standard system the wage group does not affect payroll accounting in the ERP system.
On change view “Wage groups”: Overview screen the relevant options are selected.
Purpose of Configuration
In this menu option, the suitability required in a plant for carrying out certain tasks is
defined.
Example
Suitability for a task can be:

Purpose of Configuration
In this step, you define the percentage of the safety stock to be available for planning. This
function is used to avoid a situation where order proposals are created unnecessarily by the
system to cover small shortage quantities.
On change view “Safety stock availability”: Overview screen the relevant options are
selected.
Purpose of Configuration
The rescheduling period represents the period in which the system checks whether the
existing dates of the receipt elements that are no longer allowed to be changed automatically
still suit the requirements situation. If the dates of these elements are no longer suitable, the
system creates the following exception messages depending
messages depending on the requirements situation:
On change view “Plant Rescheduling”: Overview screen the relevant options are selected.
Recommendation
In joint production it is not possible to reschedule receipt elements at will, because the goods
receipt depends on the planning run for another material. For this reason, it is best to use a
very small rescheduling horizon.
Purpose of Configuration
In this step how the system is to proceed if errors occur during the planning run is
run is specified.
To do this, you specify the following:
Planning run
If the system cannot determine the correct MRP controller when carrying out the
planning run, it will then refer to the substitute MRP controller. If the system
cannot determine an MRP controller during termination of the planning run, it will
record the substitute MRP controller in the MRP document. These documents are
found in the collective display of the MRP list - by selecting according to the
substitute MRP controller.

remains in the planning file. This ensures that the material will be included in the
next planning run. The MRP controller can select all terminated materials in the
collective display of the MRP lists to correct the problem. In this step, you can set the
system so that it deletes the planning file entry for certain termination situations and
the material is excluded from the planning run if this situation, which means the
error message, occurs. The material will then only be re-included in the planning run
when it undergoes another change and the change is relevant to MRP, or when the
MRP controller executes regenerative planning. Existing MRP lists for this material
are not deleted. They can only be deleted by the MRP controller manually or by the
appropriate report.

On change view “Floats for scheduling”: Overview screen the relevant options are selected.
Recommendation
The opening period should reflect the processing time the MRP controller needs to convert
planned orders into purchase requisitions or production orders. The opening period should
be at least as long as the
t he interval between two MRP intervals, so that all planned orders can
be taken into account during the conversion.
Purpose of Configuration
If this indicator is set, the system will only use the backward scheduling procedure for
calculating the basic dates, even if the start date ends up in the past.
