Resource Groups

Use resource groups to simplify data maintenance and schedule analysis.

You can:

• Simplify changeover rule definitions using resource groups instead of resources. For example, you can use a single changeover rule for a group of resources, instead of defining rules for each resource individually.

• Focus on a set of resources for schedule analysis via the Gantt Chart. You can select a set of resources to view operations and adjust the schedule only for those resources.

• Include outside supplier resources that will be relaxed for capacity.

Tip:

Limiting the number of resources displayed in the Gantt Chart will improve application performance.

Define a Resource Group

1. In the Actions menu for an organization, select Resource Groups.

2. On the Resource Groups page, click Add.

3. Specify a name and description.

4. Select whether to include an outside processing supplier.

5. Save your group.

When you've created a group, add group members to it.

Define a Resource Group Member

1. In the Actions menu for a resource group, select Members.

2. Specify the sequence number, to define the order in which the resource appears in the Gantt chart.

3. Select a work center.

4. Select a resource.

   Note: Because production lines aren’t a part of a work center in SCM Execution, they can’t be added to resource groups.

Resource groups can also be defined and managed using the Supply Chain Planning/Production Scheduling Organizations/Resource Groups REST service. To know more, see the REST API for Oracle Fusion Cloud SCM guide.
