Resource Requirements
Every work activity is defined with one or more resource requirements. Resource requirements are the material, crafts, equipment, and other miscellaneous resources needed to complete the work.
• Material requirements specify materials or stock items to be used for the activity (pipe, pump, bolt, etc.). Material requirements might also be fulfilled using the procurement process.
• Labor requirements, or crafts, specify the type of skills needed for the activity (technician, plumber, electrician, etc.). This might include premium or regular labor.
• Equipment requirements specify the machinery, tools or other equipment required for the activity (crane, bulldozer, drill, etc.).
• Other requirements cover miscellaneous requirements for the activity (meals, miles, hotel stay, etc.).
Activity resource requirements can only be navigated to and added from the Activity portal’s Resources tab.
Note the following with respect to activity resource requirements:
• Material requests (issues and returns) can be applied against the resource requirement when the activity is active.
• If materials are not in stock and need to be purchased to fulfill the requirement, a purchase order or requisition might be issued. These materials are typically tracked as direct purchases.
• Timesheets are used to track labor requirements. The labor requirement establishes an estimated number of work hours required. As timesheets are created and posted, the actual work hours are tracked.
• Other direct charges are used to track equipment and other requirements.
