You can use alternate resources to resolve production problems on the shop floor. Resources can be substituted in groups, enabling a switch from the current resource group to an alternate resource group. If several resources are available, they display in a drop-down box.

   To assign alternate resources:

1. Navigate to the Assign Alternate Resources page.

   The page displays job number and description, assembly number and description, operation number and description.

   The Resource table displays information about the available resources. The Required Amount and Available Amount indicates the resource load.

2. Select the resource you want to assign in the Resource box.

3. Enable the Group radio button if this is a resource group.

4. Select Apply to save your work.
