Product Cost Controlling (CO-PC)

Together with the item category, describes what an item in a cost estimate represents.

Examples of resources in cost estimates:

• Materials

• Activity types

• Purchasing info records

• Overhead

Training and Event Management (PE)

Utilities (in the broadest sense) required to carry out a business event, for example, room S3, training materials for HR515, PCs.

Resources are reserved by business events.

Production Planning for Process Industries (PP-PI)

Means of production and persons involved in a production process that have capacities assigned to them.

Resources are subdivided into resource categories, such as production line, labor, storage.

In resource management, you can carry out the following functions:

• You can create a resource network structure, to define the sequence of the resources used.

• You can define a resource hierarchy to group resources for evaluation purposes.

• You can classify the resources, to define their suitability for a particular purpose or use in particular processes.

Cost Center Accounting (CO-OM-CCA)

Goods and services supplied to an organization in order to produce business activities.

(APO-MD)

A machine, person, facility, warehouse, means of transportation or other asset with a limited capacity that fulfills a particular function in the supply chain.

In APO, the following resources can be modeled:

• Resources whose capacity is determined by working time data. The capacity of these resources is continuously available during working hours. There are single-activity resources, on which only one activity can be processed at any one time, and multi-activity resources, on which several activities can be processed simultaneously. Single-activity resources and multi-activity resources are used for scheduling in the APO components Capable-to-Match (CTM) and Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS), in which production dates of orders and operations are scheduled in seconds.

• Bucket resources, whose capacities are defined by quantities (for example, transport or warehouse capacities) or by daily rates (for example, production rates). Bucket resources are used for scheduling in Supply Network Planning (SNP). The most detailed scheduling that can be done is on a daily basis.
