Enter Miscellaneous Resource Allocations

Explanation

Perform this activity to create Miscellaneous Resource Allocations for individual resources (persons, tool/equipment, machines, and crews) to reflect planned absences and non-available time. This will create resource allocations against the resource that can be viewed in the Resource Analysis page.

The Misc. Allocation Category is mandatory and can be of type Absence and Non-Absence. It is also possible to enter a Location. The misc. resource allocations are created without any company or site associated and there is no integration to Human Capital Management.

Misc. Resource Allocations can have the following statuses:
