Re: [WebERP-developers] Use of work centers and locations

[Phil D. <ph...@lo...>]

Hi Ricard,

Well work centres are meant to refer to the cells within locations where 
the work is done ... in a jewellery manufacturing business there might 
be a stone polishing work centre, a soldering work centre, turning, 
annealing and such like. Each work centre might have different overhead 
rate applicable with differing machine content etc and this was the 
intention with work centres. The BOMs are defined by work centre so the 
materials can be specified by work centre. They are quite different to 
locations (AKA inventory locations/factories or warehouses). There can 
be a different BOM at a different location/factory that in turn may well 
refer to different work centres.
