Resource Transfer

So we are creating a second plant and I have already transfered my warehouses to the new plant but when I try to transfer the resources I get an error that it is assigned to an Opersation /Job Operation.

Is there way around this?? How do I move these resources to the new plant?

We’re having a similar issue. In E9 when we split one of our “Warehouses” into its own Site, we successfully transferred Resources to new Groups in the new Site. However in E10, we’re trying to move some Resources to a different Site since those production lines have moved and are running into a similar error you got, even though all existing jobs have been closed.

I have a support ticket open (CS0001638321), and the support rep is researching this with Development to see if this behavior changed between E9 and E10.2.300.15 (our current version). I’m thinking the logic changed from “Are any jobs open that use this Resource/Resource Group?” to “Are there any jobs at all that use this Resource/Resource Group?”. I’m hoping it’s a bug and we’ll still be able to transfer the Resources.

Is the resource in the resourcetimeused table? If so that is the job/operation assignment you will need to clear.

yes we do have open jobs.

I am going to open a ticket too and see what they say. I mean these jobs need to be transferred too so I would think there would be an easier way to move them too.

How do I clear that? What will that break?

If you unschedule the jobs they should remove the resources from resourcetimeused and then you should hopefully be able to move the resources if that is the problem.
