Configuring Work Centers: Configuration Prerequisites

Before starting to create work centers, you must be sure that the system has been configured properly and that all required entities have been created, as described in the following sections.

Enabling the Needed Feature

On the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form, the Manufacturing feature must be enabled.

Configuring the System

You need to make sure the following tasks have been performed in MYOB Acumatica before you begin to create work centers:

• On the BOM Preferences (AM101000) form, the numbering sequence for bills of material has been specified.
• On the Production Preferences (AM102000) form, the numbering sequences for move, material, labor, cost, and WIP adjustments have been specified.
• On the Work Calendar (CS209000) form, the work calendars that will be used with work centers have been created. For an example of the creation of a work calendar, see Configuring Work Centers: Implementation Activity.
• On the Shifts (AM205000) form, the shifts for the work centers have been created. For an example of the creation of a shift, see Configuring Work Centers: Implementation Activity.
• On the Labor Codes (AM206500) form, the labor codes to be used for calculating the labor costs of any work center have been created. For an example of the defining of a labor code, see Configuring Production Cost Drivers: Implementation Activity.
• If overhead is to be used, on the Overhead (AM202500) form, the overhead rates to be used for any of the work centers have been created. For an example of the creating of an overhead entity, see Configuring Production Cost Drivers: Implementation Activity.
• If machines are to be scheduled or used for costing, on the Machines (AM204500) form, the machines to be used in any of the work centers have been created. For an example of the defining of a machine, see Configuring Production Cost Drivers: Implementation Activity.
