Work centre is a place in Shop Floor where a sequence of operation or a single operation is happening and the activity are measured in terms of cost ( machine , labour ,set up) are estimatted here with help of certain formula assinged to Work centre .

It control the operation based on Capaicty , schedueling , Cost, Goods Reciepet through a Control key .

Work centre can be assined to any operation for any routing .It is not material specific rather plant specific.

Where as routing is a sequnece of operation .Routing can have one single work centre to each operation or different work centyre assinged to various operation in a routing .From PP point of view , routing are always created for Finshed Good , Sub -Assmbly which will be producted through a sequence of operation .

However , a routing can be created for Network , Plant Maintainenec purpose , production purpose .In SAP ,they are indicated as usage of routing .For Production it will be 1.

Hi Addi,

Routing - Sequence of operation to get the uotput

There are two type of Routing - 1. Routing (CA01) 2. Rate Routing (CA21)

1.Routing (CA01 ) - is used in descret manufacturing , while creating the routing you put the planned activities for the operation

2.Rate Routing (CA21)- in rate Routing operation ,Quantity and duration is fixed it is used for the Repetative manufacturing

Tables for Routing are - MAPL ,PLPO, PLKO

WorkCenter- Where actual operation of routing are performed.

TCode- CR01

In work center you assign standard value key , These values are used as a activity for product costing Purpose for that you need to select formula in costing Tab.

You can define the capacity as well as Shifts grouping in Capacity Header.

Table - CRHD

Please revert back if any specific information is needed
