Hi Sanket,
Please find below the steps of set up work center. If you select help-about this window on GP will show all details of selected window. The following is from work center ID.
Entering a work center record
Before you can assign machines or employees to a work center, you must use the Work Center Setup window to create a basic definition for a work center.
Work center information is important because it represents your company’s capacity for work. That information will play a bigger role later on when you want to compare available work capacity with the work you have scheduled in Capacity Requirements Planning (CRP). Besides assigning employees and machines to work centers, you also can specify the efficiency—the statistical measure of the employee’s performance compared to routing sequence times—of employees and machines.
The Display Date field in the Work Center Setup window is important because it determines when the work center definition you’re creating will be effective. Some companies want the work center records to reflect every change to the work center definition; for instance, if an employee is on vacation or if a machine is offline for repairs. Other companies don’t want that level of detail. Refer to Timing for work center changes for more information.
A work center is a specialized site. Before you begin this procedure, you must use the Site Maintenance window to set up the site that will be a work center. Refer to Inventory Control documentation for more information.
If you like, you can associate the work center with a department. For more information about setting up departments, refer to your Payroll documentation.
To enter a work center record:
Open the Work Center Setup window.
(Manufacturing >> Cards >> Work Centers >> Setup)
Enter a work center ID. The identifier for the work center must match the identifier for the associated site.
If you enter a work center ID and there is no corresponding site ID, a message appears and you’ll have the option to create the site ID.
Enter a brief description of the work center. Often, the work center description is a word or phrase that describes the work that will be completed in that work center. The description field is required.
If the work center tasks are completed by an outside supplier, this is an outsourced work center. Complete this procedure and then refer to Defining or modifying an outsourced work center.
To associate a work center with a department, enter or select a department name.
Enter the start time, hours per shift and number of shifts. The hours per shift multiplied by the number of shifts can’t be greater than 24.
If you’re using Capacity Requirements Planning, (CRP), be sure the hours per shift you enter is the number of actual working hours per shift. For example, if employees have two 15-minute breaks in an eight-hour shift, the working hours per shift is 7.5 hours.
Enter the date this work center definition should become effective in the Display Date field. Refer to Timing for work center changes for more information.
Choose Save and close the window.
