Defining Resource Task Assignment

The Resource Task Assignment window lets you associate a task with an operation code, job, assembly, and department. Task Auto Assignment looks at the values entered in these fields and finds a rule that matches a resource transaction. It then assigns the task to the transaction. If more than one rule matches the values of some of these fields, Task Auto Assignment looks for the rule that corresponds to the highest-priority field, which is the field that appears on the window first. For example, suppose you've defined two rules for project 1:

Project Task Operation Code Job.Number Assembly Department Code
P1 T1 Assembly 222    
P1 T2 Assembly     AS2

When you perform a resource transaction for job 222 in the Assembly operation in the AS2 department, Task Auto Assignment matches the transaction with the first rule (and therefore assigns task T1 to the transaction). The reason it picks the first rule rather than the second, even though both contain matching fields, is that Job Number has a higher priority than Department Code.

   To assign WIP labor and overhead tasks:

Note: You cannot enter values in both the Job field and the Assembly field for the same rule.
