AC03


AC03.1 - Resource



Use Resource (AC03.1) to define and maintain a resource code and general
information for a person, employee, vendor, asset, or equipment that is a
source of an activity's costs, revenues, or units. A resource is assigned
to an activity to track information such as the source of cost, employee hours
worked, and the specific elements that consist of the activity. You must
define
a resource code before you can associate the resource with an activity.
You define employee, vendor, and asset resources in the Human Resources,
Accounts Payable, and Asset Management applications, respectively.

AC03.2 - AC Person Assignment



Use AC Person Assignment (AC03.2) to assign resource people to an activity
or activity group. An AC Person is a person, employee, or subcontractor that
is not defined in the Lawson Human Resources or Accounts Payable
applications.



**More Information

Choose Roles to access Role Assignment (AC03.7). Use AC03.7 to associate
roles with resources, including AC Person, HR Employee, Asset, Vendor, and
Equipment.
Choose More to access Resource Account (AC03.9). Use AC03.9 to associate
a company, accounting unit, account, and default billing category and value
with the resource/activity or activity group combination. This is the default
expense account information  for Resource Journal Entry (AC41.1),
Subcontractor
Time and Material Entry  (AC42.1), and Transaction Interface Adjustment
(AC54.1)
only.
Choose Rates to  access Assigned Person Resource Rates (AC18.1). Use
AC18.1 to associate rates  with resource/activity or activity group
combinations.
If the Resource  Validation flag on Activity Group (AC00) is Yes and
 you  use AC54/AC540 to  interface person resources or the AC4x forms to add
journal entries or resource time entries, then you must assign the person
 resources here.
You can assign an AC Person to an activity at any level, not just the
posting level. Creating the assignment at a level above posting might simplify
setup because all assignments apply to any children activities.
You can use Resource Assignment Listing (AC203) to list the resources
assigned to an activity.
