When entering Actuals by Resource, enter the number of hours, units, or dollars for the current resource into the appropriate fiscal month. You must first select the Resource Code from the list box, and you can optionally fill in Resource Department and Overtime. These entries can only be made on the first line of the block.
Each block of resource actuals data is identified by a unique combination of Resource Code, Resource Dept, and Overtime. Each block must contain a unique combination of these fields to uniquely identify that block.
For example, if you are reporting actuals hours data for Resource Code ENGE in Department LAB1 with OT for the months of August, September, and October 2008 for WBS 100-10, you cannot report multiple sets of hours data for ENGE in LAB1 with OT in Aug-Oct. 2008 for WBS 100-10.
