Work Centers

The work center specifies where an operation is executed -- it acts as the header information to which you add a work center resource. After you have created the work center, you can add work center resources to it to track the costs.

For example, you can define a machine or a production line and include a setup rate, labor rate, and overhead cost. After creating a work center with resources, you can add it to a routing on an item specification.

Create a Work Center

1. From the Work Center page, click New.
2. Enter the required information including the Company and a name for the Work Center.
3. To make the work center facility specific, select a Facility.

   The facility must belong to the selected company.

4. Click Save.

You can assign a resource to a work center by creating a Work Center Resource.
