difference between Resource and Workcenter

[Former Member]

Hello guys,

i know this question is addresed before, but i am not satisfied with their answers, and even i looked in SAP HELP but i didn' get the answer.

I know some of the differences that they use different category, and in resource we use phases instead of suboperation,and in resource we can use secondary resource.

So guys could u help in finding the differences between them.

Dear,

I saw the same question before also. It is the design by which the whole module is setup.

If you see some of the functions are allowed and some not allowed with different applications where it is used.

If you see functionally, there is no difference like both are the place to produce the product, but industry nomenclature is different depends on the type of production industry

WorKCenter is the terminology used in Production (ex. Automotive, High-Tech) Industries.

Resource is analogous to WorkCenter, but the terminology is used more in Process Industries (Ex. Chemical, Pharma etc.)

To Clarify futher, at SAP functionality perspective Sub-Operations & Phases are the functionalities that come with Routings & Recipes which are used in PP & PI Industries repectively.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Bharat.
