Creating or loading a resource

Resources can be loaded from HR11 employee records, or created individually and not tied to an HR11 employee record.

Note: 

Resources cannot be loaded from HR11 employee records if using a stand-alone application. Resources are setup as "other" in stand-alone applications.

Note: 

Upon successful addition of a Resource, the system will automatically create an Agent Record, with the key values of the Finance Group and Resource ID. You will need to tie the Agent record to an Actor record before the user logs in to Infor Rich Client.
