Set and adjust machinery

Rillsoft Project provides for a very flexible management of machinery. You can allocate a machine to machine types and to unit prices and price adjustments.

Manufacturer and machine or device type are then defined within the group. (Example: Lifting davids - Lifting david type 10 to, Lifting david type 100 to, etc.

In order to set and adjust machinery, you do as follows:

1. Select the menu item Tools / Resource pool.
   The dialogue box Resource pool opens.
2. Select the tab Machinery.

   

3. Create a new group by clicking on the button New group or, in the row that is marked with an asterisk (*), enter a new group name in the column Machine name.
4. Enter a specific value into the column Code to exchange data with other applications.
5. Select the team which you want the machine allocate to in the drop down list Working group - team.
6. Select the machine type which you want to allocate to the machine in the drop down list Machine group - machine type.
7. Enter the costs per hour of the machine into the field Unit price.
8. After a particular date, you can enter either a coefficient for an existing unit price or a new unit price per hour and machine into the field Price adjustment.

10. Click on the button OK.
