Setting Up Resources
Resource classifications provide an additional means of organizing your cost reporting system. You assign resources to standard projects to estimate and track costs.
You can assign only resources that you have defined for your Project and Job Costing system using the related forms in the PJC Setup folder.
When you enter cost transactions, such as timecards, equipment usage, material usage, and material returns transactions, you can select only resources that you have assigned to your projects.
Project and Job Costing lets you add records for each type of resource that you use to perform work on your contracts, as follows:
Note that you must assign to each resource a cost type that uses a cost class consistent with that resource. For example, you can assign to an equipment record only a cost type that uses an equipment cost class.
When you assign a particular resource code to a project, the program uses the settings from the resource setup record as the defaults.
