Hello,

Factory Calander :-- Factory calendar contain company specific dates such as alternate working Saturdays, Plant shutdown etc.

You can create your company factory calendar via transaction code 'SCAL'.

Assignment of the factory calendar by plant is done in transaction code 'SM30 - V_T001W'.

An example of a SAP application that uses the factory calendar is the SAP MRP modules.

Assuming that you have a specified an alternate working Saturday, MRP will postponed the planned orders to the next working day if it happened to falls on a non-working Saturday.

Work Center :--

Operations are carried out at a work center. In the R/3 System work centers are business objects that can represent the following real work centers, for example:

Machines, machine groups

Production lines

Assembly work centers

Employees, groups of employees

t-code-- CNR1 - Create

Hi,

Are you new to SAP. Which Module do you belong to.

In General terms, Factory calender is a calender with number of working days and number of holidays for a company.

Work center is the place where work or tasks are executed.
