Defining a Resource
Trigger:

Concept
Use the Resources page to define the resource and the time an assembly spends at an operation
and the cost you incur at the operation. A resource is anything you require to perform, schedule,
or cost, including but not limited to employees, machines, outside processing services, etc. A
resource and usage rate for all scheduled activities is required in a routing.

Before you define resources, you must set up your units of measure and unit of measure
conversion rates, and set the site level profile option BOM: Hour UOM to hold the unit of
measure that represents an hour.

In this topic, you will define a resource.
