Merlin: Material units for resources

Vicky Stamatopoulou on 20. April 2010

Merlin supports many types of resources. They are:

• Person: equivalent to a worker or individual.
• Company: Contractor (group or individuals), suppliers, etc.
• Equipment: Machinery, tools, etc
• Material: Raw materials, supplies.
