- If a supply warehouse will be used, the warehouse is defined and active.
- If a parent work center will be selected, that work center is active.
A work center is the place where the operations in a routing are performed. Its capacity is the calendar of the production plan and of the capacity load; the supply warehouse is the warehouse where the production order's material is staged and consumed.
Steps
- Open the Üretim › Ana Veriler › İş Merkezleri (Production › Master Data › Work Centers) screen and click Yeni İş Merkezi (New Work Center).
- Enter the work center's name in the Ad (Name) field. The Kod (Code) is proposed from the name (upper case, Turkish characters simplified); overwrite it if necessary.
- Select Makine (Machine), İşçilik (Labor) or Diğer (Other) from the Tür (Type) list.
- If necessary, select the Üst iş merkezi (Parent work center), Tesis (Plant), Besleme deposu (Supply warehouse) and Sorumlu (Responsible); enter a Açıklama (Description) and Sıra (Sequence).
- To define capacity, turn on the Kapasite tanımlı (Capacity defined) switch; enter Vardiya (Shift), Mola (dk) (Break, min), Kullanım oranı (%) (Utilization, %), Bireysel kapasite (Individual capacities) and Çalışma günleri (Working days). The Günlük kapasite (Daily capacity) is calculated.

- If there are several machines or workbenches of the same type, add each with a name and code using Bireysel Kapasite Ekle (Add Individual Capacity).
- Click Oluştur (Create).
Result
The work center is saved as Aktif (Active) and appears in the list; it can now be selected for routing operations. If capacity is defined, the capacity load uses this calendar.
What you need to know
- If no capacity is defined, planning assumes an 8-hour weekday for the work center; the capacity load does not show available time.
- Daily capacity = (shift − break) × utilization × individual capacities. The break must be shorter than the shift, utilization must be greater than 0 and at most 100, and at least one working day must be selected.
- If the shift end is before the start, the shift runs past midnight (night shift).
- Work centers and individual capacities are not deleted; to take one out of use, turn off the Aktif (Active) switch. An inactive work center cannot be selected for a new routing or document; past orders are not affected.
- Workstations, equipment and activity rates are added from the work center card: Work centers.
