FDC Resources
FDC resources provide a connection between COSMO Factory Data Capture and the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central resources, and depending on the source type, FDC resources represent employees, workstations, work centers, resources, or resource groups. Therefore, FDC resources can be both machines and people.
An FDC Resource is required for the capturing of time and quantity. It can be located at one or no FDC work area at the same time (see FDC Work Areas) and can own both FDC Dimensions and permissible FDC dimension values (see FDC Dimensions). An FDC Shift Structure can be assigned to an FDC Resource for a special day, which provides an automatic break deduction (see Invoicing) and a representation of capacities.
An FDC Resource can be set for valid concurrent beginnings for different FDC Work Orders (see Concurrent Beginning).
The fields in the FDC Resource page are described in the following table.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| No. | Unique code for the resource; maximum of 20 alphanumeric characters. |
| Source Type | Specifies the type of resource. The options are: Resource, Resource Group, Work Center, Machine Center, and Employee. |
| Source No. | Indicates the FDC Resource to be created based on the Source Type of the corresponding resource. |
| Corresponds to FDC Resource No. | Identifies another an FDC Resource that should be used instead of this FDC Resource on exporting captured data. |
| Name | Name or description of the resource. |
| First Name | First name of the resource. |
| Card No. | Identifies the FDC Resource at the terminal (see FDC Terminal). |
| Assigned User ID | Connects an FDC Resource to a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central user. If an FDC Resource is assigned to a user, only this user can process postings with this FDC Resource. The FDC administrator can process postings for FDC Resources that have different User IDs than the administrator. |
| Regular Work Area | Assigns a regular work area to the FDC Resource. This work area will be transferred on creating an FDC Work Order Line. |
| Work Center Group | Assigns a work center group to the resource. The work center group is for grouping and filtering purposes only. |
| Order Stock Type | Indicates which orders are displayed in the order stock (see Order Stock). |
| Concurrent Beginning | Indicates the type of concurrent beginnings for the FDC Resource (see Concurrent Beginning). |
| Valid to Date | Indicates the date upon which the resource is no longer valid. Exceeding this date results in blocking the FDC Resource. |
