This activity is used to register resource requirements for a task card or a subtask.
Resource planning on task cards and subtasks is done on the resource group level. This means it is possible to plan groups of persons with the required competency to perform the work and groups of tools or equipment that will be used during the work. Examples:
Resources with following settings can be planned on task cards and subtasks:
It is possible to plan multiple person groups and tool/equipment groups on a task card or subtask. For each resource group, a resource‑specific duration can be entered in the Planned Hours field. If the field is left blank, the resource will follow the task card or subtask duration. Any manually entered value is treated as a deviation and overrides that duration. For example, if the task duration is 2 hours, a technician may be planned for the full 2 hours, while an inspector may only be planned for 30 minutes. The task card or subtask duration should continue to represent the total time required to complete the work. If the duration of the task card or subtask is updated, the planned hours of the resource demand of the task card will not be updated automatically. The technician should evaluate whether an adjustment is needed.
If a person group is to be used for execution logic grouping, enable the Use for Execution Logic Grouping option when connecting the resource to the task card or subtask. Resources marked to be used for execution logic grouping will be used to generate ELOs (execution logic orders) when grouping on resources on a maintenance order.
