Use of Work Center Hierarchies

Work center hierarchies are used in capacity planning to cumulate available capacity and capacity requirements.
You can cumulate available capacities from subordinate work centers to a superior work center level in order to determine the total available capacity for the superior work center.

In your factory you have several lathes. You create a higher-level work center, called "Machine center 3", which you use to cumulate the available capacity of several lathes.
Portraying Hierarchies

You can display a hierarchy in work center maintenance or hierarchy maintenance as a list or a graphic.

• As a list

In work center maintenance you can only display the hierarchy structure, in hierarchy maintenance you can also edit the structure, for example you can delete or change work center assignment.
