SAP B1– RESOURCE GROUP MODULE:

The resource module serves as an extension to the production module and together they provide a base platform for managing light manufacturing processes in SAP Business One. A resource is a commodity machine or labour for example used to produce goods and services. Here a new resource master record will be created for a cutting machine allocating the required resource group and cost definitions. Log into SAP Business One, navigate the resources module and open up resources master data.

In add mode, a new resource will be added. The new resource number is defined as a description for the resource is also added which will be the cutting machine. Then ensure that the resource type is a machine. If labour is selected for example in the resource master data screen opposite to resource group, the employee tab will appear underneath instead of the fixed assets tab. By setting the resource type as a machine, the fixed asset tab appears to manage this asset appropriately.

Select the appropriate resource group. Then select the cutting resources group. By choosing this resource group, the default standard costs are inherited in the grid below automatically (below the properties tab). These were set up when the resource group was created. The properties can be override if it’s being drilled down into the resource group.

A resource type has been defined and it can be seen on the screen. The components below (under user definable name in the Resource Groups- Setup screen) relate to the resource where by, for example, for each time based on the unit of measure defined for this resource but the machine is run, the stamping cost is 2 pounds, and the cutting cost is 2.50 pounds. Should there be any additional cost required for this resource? Updating can be done to the resources group to manage the additional costs. In addition, the resource costs can be split into different cost types. For example, the general ledger accounting setup for each cost allows it to be posted to a corresponding general ledger account specifically for that to cost.

Then select the appropriate issue method which will be a back-flush. Choosing back-flush components are automatically issued to the production order. The manual issue method allows the issue components manually, often used when components require serial or batch management. Now the creation of the new master record has begun and allocated the required resource group and appropriate cost definitions.
