Procedure

  1. Open the Resource Allocation Gantt window and perform a search.
  2. Filter the information related to work orders and PM actions by using the available filters on the second sub window. Select Not Allocated in the Show Work list (Note: it is important that you select Not Allocated in order to proceed with the next steps).
  3. Click + to expand one of the records (i.e., work order or PM action). The operation or tool-and-facility line numbers that do not have allocations will be displayed. The planned information is displayed as a horizontal bar.
  4. Select the horizontal bar against the WO/PM Row No column. Drag and drop the selected bar against the required resource in the first graph. Perform a free time search if required.
    Note:
    For operations, the craft and maintenance organization of the employee should be the same as the ones specified for the operation lines (in the work order or PM action). For tools-and-facilities, the tool-and-facility type of the tool-and-facility ID should be the same as the one specified for the tool-and-facility lines (in the work order or PM action).
  5. Enter the hours that should be allocated to the resource in the Hours To Be Allocated dialog box and click Add.
  6. Save the information (F12).
