	<GeneralSection><Paragraph>In <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp" role="package">Enterprise Planning</GUIRef>, production facilities are referred to as <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000008" role="glossary">resources</Link>. A resource in <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp" role="package">Enterprise Planning</GUIRef> corresponds to a <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#000000000000036" role="glossary">work center</Link> in <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti" role="package">Manufacturing</GUIRef>.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>Every work center in <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti" role="package">Manufacturing</GUIRef> is automatically defined as Resource in <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp" role="package">Enterprise Planning</GUIRef>.</Paragraph>
		<GeneralSection><SectionTitle>Calendars</SectionTitle>
			<Paragraph>If you link a <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#Calendar.tc" role="glossary">calendar</Link> to a resource, <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp" role="package">Enterprise Planning</GUIRef> uses this calendar for capacity planning. If no calendar is linked to the resource, SSA ERP uses a more general calendar.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>Calendars are defined in <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc" role="package">Common Data</GUIRef>, and consist of combinations of <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#TimeIntervTy.tc" role="glossary">time-interval types</Link> and <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#ResoActiType.tc" role="glossary">availability types</Link>. In the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rpd/cprpd4160m000" role="session">Scenario - Availabilities (cprpd4160m000)</GUIRef> session, you can specify per scenario which availability type is used for a specific calendar.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>This means that you can change the availability type of a calendar in a certain scenario, and let <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp" role="package">Enterprise Planning</GUIRef> calculate the consequences of a changed availability type of the calendar linked to the resource. If you did not specify an availability type for the calendar linked to the resource in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rpd/cprpd4160m000" role="session">Scenario - Availabilities (cprpd4160m000)</GUIRef> session, <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp" role="package">Enterprise Planning</GUIRef> uses the availability type of the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/rou/tirou0100m000" role="session">Routing Parameters (tirou0100m000)</GUIRef> session in <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti" role="package">Manufacturing</GUIRef> to plan routing operations.</Paragraph>
