Associating ERP resources to production requests

Associate ERP resources to selected production requests.

Note: The system will only associate ERP resources to production requests with an Unfinished Status.

A resource is a line of products, equipment, or materials used to complete a job.

To associate ERP resources to production requests:

  1. Select Work > Production Requests.
  2. Select the production request with which to associate ERP resources, and then click the Resources tab.
  3. Click Add Resource.
  4. Specify this information:
    Resource
    Specify the resource to associate to the selected production request. The system automatically populates Accounting Entity and Name.
    Operation Sequence
    Specify the order in which this resource will be impacted when work is performed on the equipment.

    Specify the time it takes in hours for the resource line to warm up before normal use.
    Downtime (Hours)

    Select to designate this resource line as offset, or that the resource impacted by down equipment will overlap with the previous resource.
    Offset Value
