Use Department Maintenance (14.1) to set up departments. Account
numbers default from the System/Account Control File (36.1). You can
change them.
Note You must define at least one department before setting up work
centers or routings.
Work Centers
A work center is a group of people and/or machines. Work centers also
link departments with routing operations.
Work centers are the basic unit for operation scheduling and CRP.
Depending on how you plan and schedule work, you can set up work
centers for an individual machine or for groups of similar machines. If,
for example, there are separate machines for polishing plastic lenses and
polishing glass lenses, they would be set up as separate work centers.
MFG/PRO uses work centers for scheduling, planning, and determining
costs for GL transactions.
