Entering resource requirement for a work unit – An overview
This option allows you to add or modify the details of resources required for executing the work units of type “Task” or “Standard procedure”. If you wish to define the resources for the work units, you can enter details such as resource code, estimated duration and the number of resources needed, against each resource type. You can indicate whether the resource has the necessary certifications to sign off for that skill. Based on this information, during work reporting, the sign-off sheet will be automatically generated by the system.
You can also retrieve resources that have already been defined for the task, and modify its details. The system updates the resource details and sets the last modified date to the current server date.
Note: You can specify the resource requirements only for visit packages that are in “Fresh” or “Confirmed” status.
When you modify the resource requirement for a “confirmed” visit package, the system resets the visit package to “Fresh” status.
