Overview
Work Center Group provides the means to link several work centers together into a Group that can then be viewed on the Work Center Capacity Planning workbench.
Application
When an organization has a large number of work centers. To facilitate viewing and controlling capacity groups of work centers are defined. Work Center Group provides the means to do this, by allowing the user to group similar work centers together and then use the Group Name in the Capacity Planning Workbench to display each work center in the group. It provides a much quicker way to view critical work centers at once as opposed to the time and effort reviewing them as individual entities would require.
