ByDesign : Equipment Resources in Project Management

[former_member650030]

Hello Experts,

We execute project at customer end using our owned tools / equipment & returns the same once the project is executed; for this we use : Customer project with sales integration.

We have created these tools as Equipment Resource under Supply Chain Design Master Data & want to use it in Projects.

Requirement :

1. Understand project wise deployment / idle status of tools

2. Calculate cost of project (Man + Machine utilized for specific project)

For example :

Below scenario explains cost of Man + Material (fixed asset) Deployed.

Any help is appreciated...

Hello, Can you elaborate more about FA Machine, Is it created as an Equipment resources only? or you also created a service named the same?

I created an Equipment resources, status set to active but I'm unable to see it in : WoC: Resource Management-->Resource Search

I can only see Internal and external ressources as employees and service agent.

Thanks for your help

Hi Vishal,

Based on the planned work in the Project work, committed work of the FA Machine can be identified

This FA Machine committed and availability can be view in theWoC: Resource Management-->Resource Search and select the FA machine resources and click show availability button.

You can see the resources availability and the committed work for the resources

Thanks

Vijay

Hi Vishal,

My recommendation is to maintain the cost per hour. You can maintain as Days, the system by default will calculate 1 Day = 24 hours.

For this scenario, maintain the Service Item Type as PBTM - Service - time and material (project), based on the time booking the invoice value will be calculates

Maintain 2 different service masters with different valuation respectively for Man and FA Machine

Service 1: Man - cost to be calculated from the Labour Resource Cost

Service 2: FA Machine -cost to be calculated from the Service master Valuation

In the Project work tab, add the services and assign the employee

STEP 1:

Service 1: Man assign the respective employee to determine the cost from the labor resource

STEP 2: Cost Rate should be calculated from the service master NOT from the Labour Resource Cost

Pre Requisites -->Create a dummy employee and maintain the Labor cost as zero

Service 2: FA Machine and assign the dummy employee in the project work tab

Book the timesheet for the dummy employee by any other project teams using the upload option

The invoice should be created from the WoC: Customer Invoicing--> Project Invoice Requests

In the Project--> Project Overview

You can see the 1. Total Incurred Cost ie E column (COST C X D)

2. Total Invoice Revenue ie G Column (Billing ( F X D)

This is one of the options. comments are most welcome

Thanks

Vijay

Hi Vijay,

Thanks for quick reply.

Above workaround will resolve my cost collection objectives. Can you en light on how to check deployment / availability calendar for these FA?

For E.G.

1-10 are the dates of a months

D stands for Deployed & Blank cells represent standby / not deployed.
