AC03


AC03.1 - Resource

**Form Purpose
Use Resource (AC03.1) to define and maintain a resource code and general
information for an AC Person and Equipment resource. A resource is a business
data element assigned to an activity to track additional 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.

each dedicates to the activity. You can also assign a contractors billable
hours  to track how much the activity costs you in contract work.

Total cost of resource) on AC41.1 (Resource Journal Entry), AC42.1 (Resource
Time Entry), and AC440 (Resource Charge).

Choose the Acct button to AC03.9 (Resource Account). Use this subform to
associate a company, accounting unit, and account with the resource. This is
the default expense account information for AC41.1 (Resource Journal Entry),
AC42.1 (Resource Time Entry), and AC54.1 (Interface Transactions) only.

You can use AC203 (Resource Assignment Listing) to list the resources
assigned to an activity.
