Thankyou both Leo and Dirk for your help. And I did read the documentation before posting. (I am not a big wrap for people who are too lazy to look first) But I must confess I get a little mentally blocked when trying to interpret technical details into practice. So I was looking for some reassurance in what seems an important decision to get right up front. I have not worked with a system before that has such a rigid work centre group concept.
If I have understood correctly, if you have many machines, unless a group of machines are very similar in the functions they perform, you will most likely have many occurences of a work centre group with only 1 work centre? I was thinking that a work centre group might represent an area of machines that are not always similar (I presume this should really be denoted by say GL dimension 1 or 2?). But I think you have confirmed for me what the documentation seems to say that the work centre group concept is for scheduling very similar machines/things. Thanks again for your help.
