Resources are the crews, machines, and tools used at work centers to complete tasks. Resources are consumed for the duration of a task and can be reused after the task is complete. You can also use PeopleSoft Supply Planning to analyze resources.
Before using resources, consider these steps:
If you are using PeopleSoft Asset Management, you can link PeopleSoft Manufacturing machines and tools to asset information maintained in PeopleSoft Asset Management.
To make that link, define machines and tools as assets in PeopleSoft Asset Management. This link enables you to view detailed machine and tool asset, service, and repair information from the Define Machine page and the Define Tool page.
Define tools as a noncosted item in PeopleSoft Inventory to maintain quantity on-hand information for tools, as well as stock them in regular inventory locations.
This enables you to purchase, receive, and stock tools without including them in the asset balance.
