Resource

Resources can be assigned to a routing. Resources include, e.g. another operation (parallel operation), tools and other accessories required for the processing or setup of the machine or an alternative operation.

Field	Meaning
Position	Unique position number – normally in increments of 10 to add subsequent positions. This number also serves as sort criterion for the terminal display.
Type	Selecting the resource type with a right-click.
Resource	Designation of the resource – depending on the type selection, the resource can be selected with a right-click.
Description	Designation of the resource – is automatically carried forward after selecting the resource.
Quantity	Overall demand of the resource, e.g. number of tools.
Setup time	The setup time in 'per' according to the field "Time per".
Mach+Labor Time/unit	The mach+labor time in 'per' according to the fields "Time per" and "Quantity per".
Additional Info	Any additional information displayed at the FDC terminal of a tool.
Utility factor	The utility factor – the inverse of work steps. See Calculation of target time. Example: By sawing a board apart, the material is provided for two finished goods - the utility factor is thus 2.
Number factor	The opposite to the utility factor. Example: Two steps are necessary to produce a part. The time per 1 cut is stored, the quantity of the required cuts is stored with number.
Quantity per ..	The requirement time is specified for each number indicated here per assembly to be produced. Example: For 1000 the time is per 1000 finished parts.
Time by	Times are specified in hours or minutes.

Type	Meaning
Tool	Tools required for the operation. Any number of tools can be stored. Tools also have a time requirement and can be planned like resources. If "Only 1 tool" is activated in the options, only one tool is ever active and the other tools are the alternatives.
Utility	Required utilities (only information).
Parallel	A parallel resource can be a second person, machine required in parallel etc. Parallel resources require time (capacity planning) and costs (Precalculation). Time receipt can be reported separately for a parallel resource. (Info for bar code: 6-digit beas_ftapl.number + 3-digit beas_ftapl_wkz.pos_id)
Alternative	Any number of alternative resources can be inserted. If the order has been created, you can use the production structure subsequently to specify which alternative should be used. To do this simply click in the structure view: Use this alternative. All data specified here is replaced in the operation at that moment.
