Definition

Use

In the project system, the option "Not Relevant to Resource Planning" is set by default in this field. If you want to use Multi Resource Scheduling, you have to specify a process variant here. You can choose between the following variants of the resource planning process at header and activity level of the network:

• Contact person process:
  With the contact person process, the requester first assigns his or her operations to a contact person, who then creates offer demands for one or more resource planners. During the contact person process, a distinction is made between manual resource confirmation and automatic resource confirmation (without manual resource confirmation).
• Resource planner process:
  With the resource planner process, the requester assigns his or her operations to either a contact person or resource planner directly. If the requester assigns the operations to a resource planner straight away, the system creates demands that are then planned by the resource planner. If the requester assigns the operations to a contact person first, this person can choose the resource planner. The resource planner can then plan the demands. Unlike the contact person process, no offers are created with manual resource confirmation here.
• Background resource planning process
  In principle, this process variant corresponds to the "Resource Planner Process" process variant. Unlike the resource planner process, the background resource planning process allows you to change the values for the work and the number of resources even if assignments already exist for the demand.
