Viewing ABPS Employee and Ledger Resource Data

The first three pages of these components are the same pages as in the Employee Resource - Planning and the Ledger Resource - Planning components described previously. The only differences are that all fields are display only.

The ABPS Employee Resource Data and Ledger Resource Data components also feature a Spending Reason page. On this page you can view the reasons for resource spending, such as the cause of an increased resource demand. Both of these pages display any objects that have changed along with the assigned Base Scenario Volume, Volume Needed, and Budgeted Volume amounts. The Change Type column shows the type of change (Volume or Driver Quantity) and any changed drivers are listed in the Driver Change column. Clicking any of these drivers transfers you to the Drivers component to review information for that driver.

Note: You must run the ABPS and Activity-Based Management engines prior to using these pages, otherwise data will not be available.

Job Code to Hire Page

Use the Job Code to Hire page to find out how many FTEs are needed by job code and department.

Note: This data is shared with the PeopleSoft Workforce Analytics application.

ABPS Object Volume Data Page

Use the ABPS Object Volume Data page to determine such things as the reason why the forecasted volume increase cannot be met. This page lists by resource whether the Budgeted Amount has been changed. It also lists the Constraint applied to each resource.

APBS Ledger to Budget Page
