Resource Allocation

The Resource Allocation Window displays when you click the Resource Allocation icon resourceallocation.gif on the Job Maintenance Window in Workflow|Maintenance|Job Definition. This function allows you to track time/amounts allocated to specified resources by time accounting transaction code/work code. If Resource Allocation was started through Workflow|Maintenance|Job Request, that information is automatically displayed in fields and may be edited.

  1. Key the time accounting Transaction Code/Work Code combination then key either a valid Employee Code (set up in the Employee Profile option) or a Title Code (set up in Rates by Title Maintenance option).

Resource Allocation Window

  1. Click <Get Rates> to calculate cost based on rates set up in the Employee Profile option or Rates by Title Maintenance option. If Hours are keyed, the rate is multiplied by the number of hours and the amount is displayed in the Calculated Total field as well as the Total Amount field. Any previously keyed Calculated Total will be overridden when you click <Get Rates>. If hours were not keyed, the rate for one hour is displayed in the Calculated Total field. Any previously keyed Calculated Total will be overridden when you click <Get Rates>.

  2. To set up resource allocation for more than one time accounting transaction code/work code combination, click the Add icon add.gif to add a line for further data entry.

  3. If you want to see a new total without pulling in rates, click the Recalculate icon recalcul.gif to calculate the sum of all amounts displayed in the Calculated total field. New totals will appear in the Total Amount field as well.

  4. Click the Save icon save.gif.
