In this customizing node you will define the object type the system will use as Resource planning node and the related evaluation paths.
Here, I will explain the R/3 Scenario (because I have no experience of other scenarios ).
The object type: The object type used as 'Resource planning node'. It can be O, 9O, A or anything else that customer likes.
Resource planner and Contact persons: Define here the object type used to identify a Resource Planner and Contact Person. You can chose between P(Person) or US(User). If you specify Person, the system retrieves the contact data for the resource planners from the HR master record. If you specify User, the system retrieves the contact data for the resource planner from the user master record.
Evaluation paths for Authorizations: Specify the evaluation paths that should be used for evaluating the user authorizations. Here, from the user the system will identify the Org units using these evaluation paths. The resulting org units are the ones for which the user is authorized. These evaluation paths are used only if in the basic settings you have activated "Authorization check based on Evaluation paths".
Evaluation path for resources: This evaluation path is used to determine the resources from a resource planning node. So when you double click on an org unit in planning board, the resources are fetched based on this evaluation path.
Evaluation path for Resource planner and contact person: This evaluation path is used to determine the Resource planner and contact person of a Resource planning node. In the resource planning scenario for project business, we enter the Org unit number in network header customer enhancement tab. At that point, this evaluation path is used to determine the names and details of contact person and resource planners.
EP: Resource planning node to Resources: The name here is slightly confusing. This evaluation path is used to determine the resource planning nodes to which a person is attached. This is used at the time of authorization checks. For a person, this evaluation path will find the planning nodes to which this person is attached. If the resource planner is not authorized to plan these planning nodes, then he cannot create / change the assignment or time allocations for this resource.
Eval Path for higher level RP nodes: This evaluation path is used to find the parent org units for a given org unit. This is used at many places. For instance during the authorization checks also to determine if the planner is authorized for higher org units.
EP: Dir assigned RP Node for Resource planner: As the name suggests, this evaluation path will get the directly assigned resource planning node for a resource planner. This is used in transaction /MRSS/PLBOTIME to find the RP Node for the current user. It is also used in the lean planning board transactions.
EP: Dir assigned RP Node for contact person: As the name suggests, this evaluation path will get the directly assigned resource planning node for a contact person. This is used in the transaction /MRSS/RAP_CP.
Log. Work center to RP Node: This evaluation path is used to find the work center connected to a Resource planning node. This EP is used to determine the work center during the back integration. For example if you change the assignment to planning node for a demand in plaaning board, the appropriate work center must be written back.
RP Node to work center: This evaluation path is used to find the Resource planning node from a given work center. This EP is used in the forwards integration of PM/CS and PS demands. Here, from the work center of the activity or operation the system determined the planning node and assigns the demand to that planning node.
Work center to higher level RP Node: This evaluation path is used to determine the work centers for a selected and higher level resource planning nodes. This evaluation path is used in the search help of work centers. The search help shows the complete resource planning node hierarchy and the work centers under that.
Person to Work center: This evaluation path will find the persons attached to a work center. This EP is used during the automatic assignment creation to determine the resources from a work center.
Work center to Person: This evaluation path finds the work center for a person. The system uses this EP during the back integration to determine the technician work center of the resource.
