Automated Resource Usage Start/Stop not working as expected
Summary:
Based on documentation, my understanding of using the Start/Stop feature to automate resource transactions is only applicable when the following conditions are met:
- The Work Center of the Standard Operation is tied to a workstation
- The resource instance is configured for the resource associated with the workstation of the Standard Operation
- The Charge Type for the resource on the work order is set to Manual
In testing, I have seen examples of resources being automatically charged based on the Start/Stop time when the operation is not being completed at a workstation. I have also seen this being charged even when the resource that has been charged is not in the Standard Operation at all. I want to understand fully how the automated resources are being charged and what the logic is to set that up and control it. If the resource instance is configured with a user for a given resource, will it always charge the Start/Stop time if that user has executed an operation?
