	<GeneralSection><Paragraph>Resource signals are related to the planning of resources. They warn you when there is a utilization or workload problem.</Paragraph>

		<GeneralSection><SectionTitle>Overloaded Resource</SectionTitle>
			<Paragraph>The resource is overutilized. This type of signal is generated when the utilization for a plan period exceeds 100 % (plus the tolerance percentage specified for this signal type in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rao/cprao1110m000" role="session">Signal Types - by Planner (cprao1110m000)</GUIRef> session).</Paragraph>

		<GeneralSection><SectionTitle>Resource CTP &lt; Zero</SectionTitle>
			<Paragraph>The CTP of the resource is lower than zero. This means that the load on the resource, including newly accepted customer orders, is too high. This type of signal is only generated for resources which are defined as <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000039" role="glossary">critical in CTP</Link> in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rpd/cprpd2100m000" role="session">Resource (cprpd2100m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
