1 minute read time.

Default dimensions are found in setup, Financials, Accounting interface and there are many of them. However, this blog will go over the ones that are used in Manufacturing whether creating a work order manually or automatically, creating the production, closing, and costing the work order.

The three default dimensions for standard work order are:

MFI: Released products

MFO: Operations

MFM: Components

If the work order is automatically created within the plans (Enterprise planning, Planning workbench, Grouping), the default dimensions are:

MFIAUT: Auto Released products

MFOAUT: Auto Operations

MFMAUT: Auto Components

When a production tracking is manually created, these are the dimensions used:

MKI: Tracking of released products

MKO: Operations tracking (principal work center)

MKOLAB: Operations tracking (secondary work center)

MKM: Material tracking

When tracking is created using a Time tracking plan, the dimensions are:

MKIAUT: Auto tracking of released products

MKOB: Auto operations tracking (principal work center)

MKOLABB: Auto operations tracking (secondary work center)

MKMAUT: Auto material tracking

When using the Production plan to create a tracking, the dimensions are:

MKIB: Released products tracking plan and MKMAUT: Auto material tracking.

If using a Material tracking plan, the used default is MKMB: Material tracking plan.

When the work order is completed and closed, these are the dimensions used:

MKOAUT: Auto operations tracking (Principal WC)

MKOLABAUT: Auto operations tracking (Secondary WC)

MKMAUT: Auto material tracking

Finally, when the work order is costed, MWIF: Balance/Close WorksOrder variance default dimension is used in Parameter values, TC common data, Accounting Interface.
