Allocation Method

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi,


I would know what is the meaning and scope the field: allocation method in the requirement of the resource. It has several options:

  • Full capacity.
  • Precentaje capacity.
  • distribute equitably.
  • charge in advance.

Thanks,

    Hi,

    you can find an explanation here:

    neilparkhurst.com/.../psa-resource-management

    and in V.9.0 there is now the pattern that you can specify:

    blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/.../blog-post-july-2017-update-for-field-service-and-project-service-automation-universal-resource-scheduling-part-1

    it is usually used with PSA but it also works in FS.

    It is to be used for creating requirement distribution over a time period.

    This field is mostly used in PSA module in case a Resource is partially or fully allocated to a project but you can use in a field service scenario as well.
