Purpose
This work instruction is used to Create / Change / Display Work Centers.
Description
A work center is an organizational unit that defines where and when an operation should be
carried out within a plant. A work center is unique within a plant. Work centers can be
machines, people or production lines. Operations that need to be executed are defined on a
task list and executed at the corresponding user assigned work center. This transaction
enables the user to change basic data, set defaults, assignments, and define capacities and
scheduling data pertinent to a work center. Work centers contain default values that are copied
or referenced in operations at the time of task list creation. They also contain costing,
scheduling and capacity data required for lead time scheduling and capacity planning.

Let’s Get Started with Displaying a Work Center.
LOGON
Work Step
Via Transaction Code – CR02
Step 1 Enter the Client number given to you by your administrator.
Step 2 Enter User code.
Step 3 Enter Password.
Step 4 Click Enter.
Note: When logging into SAP instead of this simulation, you will need to use your SAP user
name and password supplied by your company SAP Admin. If your company utilizes
‘Single Sign On’ then these steps are irrelevant because you are already signed onto
SAP and only need to choose the desired system from the list. Many of the actions
associated with the menu paths can be performed from icons, key strokes or using the
mouse. This duplication or redundancy is built into the system to meet the varying
needs or styles of users. Some individuals enjoy using the mouse and menu paths,
some get used to icons easily, some desire keystrokes while others prefer ‘right’ click or
‘double’ clicks.
