About Labor and Non-Labor Resource Types

Staff can consist of labor, materials, equipment, and expense resource or role types. If you are using Open Workbench with CA Clarity PPM, you may want to include non-labor resources or roles in your CA Clarity PPM project if you want process financial transactions against them. For example, you may want to bill customers for the cost of traveling to customer sites.

You can add the following resource of role types to projects:

• Labor. Defines any person or role who works or completes tasks.
• Equipment. Defines any type of machinery used to perform a job, such as delivery trucks, printers, and computers.
• Material. Defines any type of material used to perform a job, such as training guides, chemicals, or fuel.
• Expense. Defines any costs associated with a resource or a role, such as the cost of traveling to a customer site.
