In IFS resource planning I have defined a resource group as type Tool/Equipment group plus a connected resource representing a machine. I have defined that the equipment should be possible to use both in Maintenance and Project.

I can report hours used on a work order but I cant find where/how I can report consumed hours for the same machine related to a project activity.

My conclusion at the moment is the resources defined as Tools cant not be used in Project module to report hours – is that true?

Hi ​@perx19,

You are correct.  Project Resources are labor resources.

Not quite sure about that!
