Resources can be pre-assigned to operations. In this scenario, the machine is planned according to its capacity when Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central calculates the Planning Worksheet. This is useful when a resource always works at the same machine. Prepare these assignments through standard tasks or directly in the routing.
The following functionality is available to allocate resources to manufacturing orders.
Steps - Standard tasks
Standard tasks are used as a template to complete routings. An option to add resource groups and/or resources has been added to the Navigate menu:
Type Standard Tasks in the search box and select the one in Manufacturing/Capacities/Setup.
Create a new standard task.
Select the Navigate tab to find the different items that can be attached to a standard task: Tools, Personnel, Description, Quality Measures, and Resources.
Steps - Routing
Resource groups and/or resources can be inserted directly into routings:
Type Routings in the search box and select the one in Product Design.
Open an existing routing (for example, 1000 Bicycle).
Select an operation from the list.
To add a standard task, make the Standard Task column visible in the list and select the standard task from the drop-down list to add all items attached to the operation.
Open the Line menu, select Operation, and then select Resource.
In the Routing Resource, specify the following fields:
Resource No.: select a specific resource (Description and Resource Group are retrieved automatically).
Work Type: required to determine the specific rate for the resource.
Operation Type: Setup Time or Run Time.
% of Operation Time: the percentage of the selected operation time done by the resource (if the resource does all work: 100%; if two resources: 50% each, and so on).
