The Report Resource Usage page enables you to change and charge resources and resource instances. You can also change resource charges to other units of measure. If the entry is time based, the system uses the Charge Resource at Report Time parameter. Otherwise, the resource charge occurs when you save your record.

The start time comes from all sources including clock actions, time card entry, and resource usage charging at both resource and instance levels. In each situation when the time is modified, the actual resource start and completion time is recalculated. Operation actual time and job actual time only use resources with a scheduled flag set to Yes.

If the parameter Charge Resource at Report Time is enabled, and the job operation is flagged as autocharge - the Charge check box displays a check symbol.

   To report resource usage:

1. Navigate to the Report Resource Usage page.

2. Select the appropriate information in the following fields:

   • Job

   • Operation Sequence

   • Resource

   • Instance

3. Enter a value in two of these fields - Start Time, End Time, and Total Quantity. The other field will automatically calculate the correct value.

4. Optionally, you can change the value in the Unit of Measure field.

5. Select Apply to save your work.
