Understanding the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Resource Assignments System

Assigning resources to work orders involves matching the work order requirements against the resources; checking the availability, competencies, and skills of the resources; and creating resource assignments that can be monitored and against which reports can be run.

When you use work order resource assignments, you define the available capacity of resources by setting up a base calendar with available working hours. You also can set up a resource calendar for a specific resource to override the base calendar—for instance, if an employee takes a vacation. When the base calendar is defined, you can associate resources with the base calendar in the Resource Master program (P48310) to define their availability. At any time, you can review the resource assignment information to determine whether resources are loaded according to their capacity.

If you want to check the competencies or skills of resources, you need to have Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Human Capital Management Foundation and the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Human Resources systems installed.
