  Key Concepts: 
  Resource Type is a classification of resources in SAP Manufacturing Execution (MFG-ME). It is used to group resources into categories, such as machines, tools, and personnel. This allows for easier management of resources and better tracking of resource utilization. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Resource Types can be created in the MFG-ME system by navigating to the “Resource Types” tab in the “Resources” section. Here, users can create new Resource Types and assign them to existing resources. Once created, Resource Types can be used to filter resources and view utilization data. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating Resource Types, it is important to consider how they will be used. For example, if a company has multiple types of machines, it may be beneficial to create separate Resource Types for each type of machine. This will allow for more detailed tracking and analysis of resource utilization.
