# Associate a time card with a resource plan

If one resource is allocated to identically named tasks in two resource plans. Use the following procedure to specify the resource plan the time card should be allocated to.

## Before you begin

Role required: resource\_manager

## About this task

-   A resource plan can be associated with a time card only if the resource plan contains [hard allocations](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/it-business-management/resource-management/r_AllocatingResources.md) for the user.
-   If a resource plan isn’t associated manually to a time card, then a resource plan is auto-associated. The auto-association is done based on the selected **Task** in the time card.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to the **All** > **Time Cards** > **All**.

2.  Select a time card.

3.  Configure the form to add the **Resource plan** field.

4.  In the **Resource plan** field, select the plan to which the time card should be allocated.

    Only resource plans that contain the selected task are listed.
