The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Resource Assignments system from Oracle provides the capability to assign resources to a work order or to specific work order instructions while checking the current availability and assignments of the resources.

Once work orders and instructions have been entered into the system, you can assign resources to either the work order or the instruction that is based on the work order document type. Resources can be either individuals who are validated against the address book or equipment that is validated against the equipment master.
