The Machine Center table is used to record information about all your machine centers.
Managing capacities is an important part of managing the manufacturing process of the company. In Navision, you use the Machine Center table to do this. This table contains information used by a range of facilities that can help you with your capacity requirements planning, for example, the available capacity, and the default values for process, setup, wait and move times.
Each machine center must also have an identifying number. When you enter the machine center number elsewhere in the program, the program will automatically use information from the Machine Center Card window of that machine center. From a machine center card, you can click the Mach. Ctr. button to view for example:
The Machine Center List window (F5), showing all the machine centers set up in the system.
The Capacity Ledger Entries window (Ctrl.+F5).
The Machine Center Statistics window (F9).
All machine centers must be set up in this table.
