This has come up before.

Facility and Resource IDs are completely unrelated. The resource ID is 
used by the database layer to work out how to map a set of rows in the 
database to a Java object and the facility No is used to work out how to 
display a resource over the web. A java object is not always a resource.

There has been a convention that they matched but there is no 
requirement. There will always be more resource IDs than Facility IDs 
because some objects don't have a facility (events, users, etc).
