The machine centres are used as the lowest capacity level. No further subdivision is possible. You must therefore use machine centres for either single machines or a number of identical machines that do not need to be distinguished any further.

To set up a machine centre

  1. In the Search box, enter Machine Centres, and then choose the related link.

  2. Create a new Machine Centre card. On the Home tab, in the New group, choose New.

  3. Enter a new machine centre number. If you have set up a default machine centre number series, press the Enter key to fill in this field with the next number in the series.

  4. Fill in the other fields. The No. and Work Centre No. fields are required.

  5. Close the window.

Note
The Work Centre No. field is used to link the machine centre to a work centre.
