System Effects

A resource group set as Use in Maintenance allows the resource group and the individual resource to be used in the Maintenance as well as Forward/Line Maintenance processes. A resource group set as Use in Service allows the resource group and the individual resource to be used in the Service processes. Depending on the resource (group or individual) as well as the resource type, the additional data that is defined for the resource enables specific usage for the resource in those processes.
