Run the Work Center Resource Units Generation program (R3007G) to automatically recalculate the work center hours. You can view the results in the Work Center Resource
Units program (P3007) or on the Work Center Resource Unit Revision form (W3007B). You can also change values on the Work Center Resource Unit Revision form.
You should run this program whenever you revise the hours per day on the Manufacturing Constants Revision form (W3009B), the number of machines in a work center, or the number of employees who are assigned to a work center. You can also run the program to define resource units for specific time periods.
The system recalculates the resource units for a work center based on the following information:
• Hours per day in the Work Center Master File table (F30006)
• Shop floor calendar
• Job Shop Manufacturing Constants table (F3009) Warning
Any manual changes that you make to the units on Work Center Resource Units is overwritten when you run Work Center Resource Units Generation, based on effectivity dates.
Resource Unit Calculations
The program uses the following resource unit calculations:
Machine-related hours (prime load code = C or M)
Number of machines * work hours per day
Labor-related hours (prime load code = L or B)
Number of employees * work hours per day
Before You Begin
Set up manufacturing constants.
Determine the branch/plants for which you want to generate resource units.
Verify that a current shop calendar for the time period that you specify is set up.
Processing Options for Work Center Resource Units Generation (R3007G)
1. From Date
Use this processing option to specify the beginning date that the system uses to generate resource units. Enter the beginning date or select a date from the calendar. The system generates resource units and refreshes them for the month in which the From date falls.
For example, if the From Date is 01/10/05 and the Thru Date is 01/15/05, the system generates resource units for January, 2005. The system requires that you enter values for this processing option before you can run the generation.
2. Thru Date
Use this processing option to specify the ending date that the system uses to generate resource units. Enter the ending date or select a date from the calendar. Resource units are generated, refreshed, or both, for the entire month. For example, if the From Date is 01/10/05 and the Thru Date is 01/15/05, the system generates resource units for January, 2005. The system requires that you to enter values for this processing option before you can run the generation.
3. Branch/Plant
Use this processing option to specify the branch/plant updated by the system in the Work Center Resource Units table when you generate resource units.
Enter the branch/plant or select a branch/plant from the Business Unit Master Search form. This processing option is required before you can run the generation.
Process Tab
These processing options define processing criteria.
1. Shift Code
Blank = All Shifts
A user defined code (06/SH) that identifies the type of shift. For example,day, night, or graveyard.
These processing options specify the shift codes to be included in the resource unit generation. You can enter up to six different shift codes. Enter the code or select it from the Select User Define Code form. If you leave all shift codes blank, the system processes all valid shifts for the requested branch/plant.
2. Shift 2 Code
A user defined code (06/SH) that identifies the type of shift. For example,day, night, or graveyard.
These processing options specify the shift codes to be included in the resource unit generation. You can enter up to six different shift codes. Enter the code or select it from the Select User Define Code form. If you leave all shift codes blank, the system processes all valid shifts for the requested branch/plant.
3. Shift 3 Code
A user defined code (06/SH) that identifies the type of shift. For example,day, night, or graveyard.
These processing options specify the shift codes to be included in the resource unit generation. You can enter up to six different shift codes. Enter the code or select it from the Select User Define Code form. If you leave all shift codes blank, the system processes all valid shifts for the requested branch/plant.
all valid shifts for the requested branch/plant.
5. Shift 5 Code
A user defined code (06/SH) that identifies the type of shift. For example,day, night, or graveyard.
These processing options specify the shift codes to be included in the resource unit generation. You can enter up to six different shift codes. Enter the code or select it from the Select User Define Code form. If you leave all shift codes blank, the system processes all valid shifts for the requested branch/plant.
6. Shift 6 Code
A user defined code (06/SH) that identifies the type of shift. For example,day, night, or graveyard.
These processing options specify the shift codes to be included in the resource unit generation. You can enter up to six different shift codes. Enter the code or select it from the Select User Define Code form. If you leave all shift codes blank, the system processes all valid shifts for the requested branch/plant.
