Master Records > Work Center > Update or Delete Work Center Record

The Work Center Maintenance function allows you to update or delete a team record if it meets the following conditions:

•The work center record is not currently used in work orders (e.g., not used in exploded or unexploded work orders, work orders in process, or work orders posted to finished jobs).

•You did not assign the work center record to any bill of materials record.

Be particularly careful when you change the values of the following fields in this function:

oStatus

When you change the status of a machine record from Active to Inactive, this will affect the explosion of work orders, posting of finished jobs, and voiding of jobs.

oMachine #

Any change on the value in this function affects only the new work orders that you create after the change.

oLabor #

Any change in the labor # or team members will affect both new and existing work orders.
