If a Bucket Resource Group/Resource has been defined on the Work Task as a demand, then the allocation process could slightly vary from a normal resource allocation process. They can be allocated either manually or by the scheduling engine but will be subjected to the Capacity Rules connected to them. The following limitations will be applied for a Bucket Assignment once created:
The execution flow for Bucket Assignments will be Assigned > Completed and no real-time status updates will be supported (e.g. On Route, Work Started, etc.)
General prerequisites are listed in the Maintenance Resource Setup.
Duration and Resource Demand must have been defined for the Work Task.
To filter a resource with competency and certificates, an Access Role with attributes for PERS_COMP_RO and PERS_LIC_RO and with flag Limited Access should be created for the person in Human Capital Management/HCM Services/HCM Access Setup/Access Role Configuration/Access Role.
Resources can be allocated to work in the following places:
As a result of this activity, work assignments will be created for Bucket Resources and the Work Task will be considered allocated.
A number of work assignments can be created for each Work Task depending on how the resource demands are stated. If there is a demand for multiple resources the result of this activity will be that a work assignment is created for each resource that is allocated. Each work assignment will be set with an Allocated To, Allocated Start and an Allocated Finish time. The work assignments will be created in Assigned status.
