AC03


AC03.1 - Resource

Use AC03.1 (Resource) to define and maintain a resource code and general
information for an AC Person and Equipment resource. A resource is a business
data element assigned to an activity to track additional information, such as
the source of cost, employee hours worked, and the specific elements that
consist of the activity. You must define a resource code before you can
associate the resource with an activity.

You can define the following resources. (The Form ID to assign each resource
to an activity is included in parentheses.)

Resource                Description
--------                -----------
AC Person Assignment    Assign people to an activity who are not an employee
(AC03.2)                or a vendor. A contractor for example. This resource
                        can also be used to assign employees and vendors when

                        using a non-Lawson system or to assign a standard
                        costs for project costing.

HR Employee Assignment  Assign employees to an activity. The employee must
(AC03.3)                be defined in the Lawson Human Resource system before

                        they can be assigned to the activity.

Vendor Assignment       Assign vendors to the activity. The vendor must be
(AC03.4)                defined in the Lawson Accounts Payable system before
                        they can be assigned to the activity.

Asset Assignment        Assign fixed assets to the activity. The asset must be

(AC03.5)                defined in the Lawson Asset Management system before
                        they can be assigned to the activity.

Equipment Assignment    Assign equipment to the activity. This resource can
(AC03.6)                be used to assign equipment when using a non-Lawson
                        asset management system.

Note: Before you can use any of the above programs, you must define a resource
code in this form. Define resource codes for resources directly associated
with the activity for employees or equipment on this form, Employees in Lawson
HR11.1 (Employee), Vendors in Lawson AP10.1 (Vendor), and Assets in Lawson
AM20.2 Additions and Adjustment).

If you use a non-Lawson Human Resources, Accounts Payable, or Asset Management
system, you must define this information in the Lawson Activity Management
system as an Equipment or Person Resource Type. For example, if you use a
non-Lawson Accounts Payable system, use AC03.1 and define the vendor as a
Person resource type. So you do not confuse a non-Lawson person vendor with an
AC person resource, define all non-Lawson person as 3xxx and all AC person
resources by name or 1xxx.

A resource code is used for additional reports and analysis in AC41.1
(Resource Journal Entry), AC42.1 (Resource Time Entry), AC240 (Journal Edit
Listing), and AC440 (Resource Charge).

You can use AC203 (Resource Assignment Listing) to list the resources assigned
to an activity.

AC03.2 - AC Person Assignment

Use AC03.2 (AC Person Assignment) to associate resource people to an
activity. Resource people are not employees or vendors. A contractor for
example. Before you can associate an AC Person Resource with an activity, you
must define a person resource type on AC03.1 (Resource).

For example, if you use a non-Lawson payroll system, you can use this form to
define employees that are working on an activity to track the number of hours
each dedicates to the activity. You can also assign a contractors billable
hours  to track how much the activity costs you in contract work.

You can view resource totals and costs (Standard Cost x Unit of Measure =
Total cost of resource) on AC41.1 (Resource Journal Entry), AC42.1 (Resource
Time Entry), and AC440 (Resource Charge).

Choose the Acct button to AC03.9 (Resource Account). Use this subform to
associate a company, accounting unit, and account with the resource. This is
the default expense account information for AC41.1 (Resource Journal Entry),
AC42.1 (Resource Time Entry), and AC54.1 (Interface Transactions) only.

You can use AC203 (Resource Assignment Listing) to list the resources assigned
to an activity.

resource class lets you define a fixed standard cost and unit of measure for
all resource classes.

(standard code) and works five hours.
