The system displays the quick codes that were defined during the “Create Quick Codes” activity, of type “Work center” and of status “Active”. Leave the field blank if you do not wish to specify the work center category. The system sets this field to the quick code, associated to this work center in the “Create Work Center” activity, by default.

Work Center Type

Use the drop-down list box to select the type of the work center, from one of the following options:

“Line” – If the maintenance activity is to be performed in the line station.
“Others” – If the maintenance activity is to be performed in locations other than hangar, bay, shop floor and line station.

Note: You can modify this field only when the work center is not associated to any execution organizational unit.

The work center type “Others” will not be considered for maintenance planning in “LIN” and “PLN” modules.

Work Center Class

Use the drop-down list box to specify whether the work center is set as execution work center or reference work center. The system lists the following values:

Execution – Select this option to specify that the work center is set as an execution work center to which the components must be routed automatically for maintenance activity.
Reference – Select this option to specify that the work center may be a virtual work center set as reference for the execution work center.

The system displays “Execution”, by default.

For the work center # specified, you can modify the “Work Center Class” from “Reference” to “Execution”, only if the work center is not mapped as Reference Work Center to any other Execution Work Centers in the “Edit Exe.Org Unit level Workcenter Details” page of the current business component.

You can modify the “Work Center Class” from “Execution” to “Reference”, only if attribute mapping is not defined for the work center. Attribute mapping may be ‘Warehouse mapping’, ‘Station mapping’, ‘User mapping’, ‘Employee mapping’, ‘Capability mapping’, ‘Shift mapping’ and ’Slot mapping’.

You cannot modify the Work Center Class, if the ‘Mode of Usage’ defined for the Work Center is “Offline”.
