Task Auto Assignment

Task Auto Assignment is a feature of Project Manufacturing that gives you a flexible way to specify how you want to track material and resource costs by different tasks within your project. For example, when you establish the Work Breakdown structure for your project, you might decide to track certain procured items with long lead times by a specific task, and others by another task. You might also decide to designate different tasks for different manufacturing departments to track specific resource and overhead costs.

The two windows used by Task Auto Assignment are: the Material Task Assignment window and the Resource Task Assignment window.

The Material Task Assignment window lets you define task assignment rules for material and material overhead costs. You can associate a task with an item, purchase order number, item category, and subinventory. Task Auto Assignment then uses this information to assign a task number for an inventory material and material overhead transaction.

The Resource Task Assignment window lets you define task assignment rules for WIP resource and resource overhead costs. You can associate a task to a department, operation, assembly item, and WIP job. Task Auto Assignment then uses this information to assign a task number for a WIP transaction.

In this way, Task Auto Assignment enables you to manage your manufacturing activities by project and collect manufacturing costs by different tasks.
