Resource Accounting
Fact Sheet

Resources are some of your company's most valuable commodities, but making good use of them is no easy task. Capacity planning, monitoring availability and keeping track of costs are just some of the factors that can demand your constant attention.

Dynamics NAV helps you optimize management of your people and equipment. The Resource Accounting module allows you to:

• Track the cost and usage of resources
• Predict availability of resources
• Plan capacity
• Integrate job costing with time allocation and billing
• Assign alternative prices and costs to different types of jobs

Dynamics NAV helps you to optimize the use of your people and equipment. It allows you to accurately monitor the cost and usage of resources, and by setting resource capacities, it allows you to predict the availability of those resources. Integration with the Jobs and Sales & Receivables application areas provide you fully integrated job costing and time and billing capabilities.

The Resource application area includes a resource table, a ledger and a journal for recording resource transactions. Dynamics NAV lets you set up specific costs and sales prices for each resource. Resource ledgers keep track of usage and sales of resources.

Capacity management facilities let you assign capacities to resources, resource groups or both. When the Resource application area is integrated with Jobs, resources can be allocated to job budgets to provide complete capacity planning on an hourly basis. Tools for reallocating jobs to different resources and resource groups allow for a detailed resource plan. Availability windows show how a capacity is allocated to active job orders and what has been allocated for potential orders.

As with Multiple Sales Prices in the Inventory application area, you can assign alternative prices to resources according to the type of customer as well as the type of job. When resources perform different types of work, different prices can be assigned to each type. Prices can be defined in multiple currencies. Alternative costs for resources can also be assigned depending on the type of job. When resources perform different types of work, different costs can be assigned to each type of work. The costs are used in budgets/estimates as well as in sales invoicing and usage recording.
