Ø Enter the following in the “Resource Estimates/Actual Details” multiline:
Resource # |
The resource for which you need to report the resource information (Alphanumeric, 40). Mandatory. The resource code should be in the “Active” status, defined in the “Work Center” business component and must be unique in the multiline. Help facility available. |
Resource Type |
Use the drop-down list box to specify the type of the resource, which could be “Skills”, “Equipment“, “Tools” or “Others”. The system sets the field to “Equipment” by default. Data selection in this field is mandatory. |
Note: If the “Resource Type” is set as “Skills”, ensure that the “Resource #” is defined as active “Skill #” in the “HR Setup” business component.
If the “Resource Type” is other than “Skills”, ensure that the Resource # and the Resource Type are defined as active Facility and Facility Type, in the “Work Center” business component.
From Date |
The date starting from which the resource is utilized for the maintenance report (Date Format). |
From Time |
The time from which the resource is utilized for the maintenance report (Time Format). |
To Date |
The date until which the resource is utilized for the maintenance report (Date Format). Ensure this date is later than the “From Date”. |
To Time |
The time until which the resource is utilized for the maintenance report (Time Format). The time entered here must be greater than the “From Time”. |
Est. Hours |
The estimated man hours for the resource(Decimal). |
Note: The system retrieves the Estimated Hours irrespective of whether the Update Mode is “Estimated” or “Actuals”
Actual Hours |
The time spent on the maintenance report (Decimal). Data entry in this field is mandatory if the “To Time” is not entered. |
Note: If the Update Mode is “Estimation” and if you have entered values in the “From Date/Time” and “Estimated Hours” fields, the system calculates and displays the “To Date/Time” by adding the “From Date/Time” and “Estimated Hours” fields. Similarly, if you have entered values in the “To Date/Time“ and “Estimated Hours” fields, the system calculates the “From Date/Time” by subtracting the “Estimated Hours” from “To Date/Time”.
If the Update Mode is “Actuals” and if you have entered values in the “From Date/Time” and “Actual Hours” fields, the system calculates and displays the “To Date/Time” by adding the “From Date/Time” and “Actual Hours” fields. Similarly, if you have entered values in the “To Date/Time“ and “Actual Hours” fields, the system calculates the “From Date/Time” by subtracting the “Actual Hours” from “To Date/Time”.
If the Update Mode is “Estimation”, the system computes the “Estimated Hours” as the difference between the "To Date", "To Time" and "From Date”,"From Time". Likewise, if the Update Mode is “Actuals”, the system computes the “Actual Hours” as the difference between the "To Date", "To Time" and "From Date”,"From Time"
The system ensures that the From Date - From Time and To Date- To Time are not overlapping with any other record for the same resource and resource type combination.
The system displays the following:
Resource Description |
The textual description for the resource. |
Note: Ensure that at least one resource detail is entered in the multiline.
Ø Select the checkbox against the record in the “Resource Estimates/Actual Details” multiline.
Ø Click the "Report Resource Estimates / Actuals” pushbutton at the bottom of the page to update the resource actuals for the maintenance report.
Note: If you selected the “Update Mode” as “Estimation”, the system ignores the “Actual Hours” value. Likewise, if you selected the “Update Mode” as “Actuals”, the system ignores the “Estimated Hours” value.
If the resource dates are earlier/later than the task or document level dates, the system updates the estimated dates and actual dates at task/document level.
Example, if the Estimated dates at Task level is between 01/02/2009 and 10/02/09 and the Estimated dates at Resource level are between 01/01/2009 and 11/02/09, the system updates the estimated dates at task level to the dates between 1/01/2009 and 11/02/09.
