Allocating Value to Roles and Competencies (Optional)

This section provides an overview of the value allocation process and discusses how to:

Understanding the Value Allocation Process

Use the Value Allocation process (WA_VALUE) to define and allocate monetary values to the roles and competencies in a competency strategy. To perform Value Allocation for a competency strategy, follow these steps:

  1. Set up the scenario definition.

  2. Complete the scenario process run control definition.

  3. Run the Value Allocation process.

Note: Value Allocation is an optional feature and independent from the Match process. If you choose not to perform Value Allocation, then you can skip this section of the topic. Proceed directly to the next topic, which covers running the Match process.

The Value Allocation process (WA_VALUE) calculates the monetary value of the competency strategy using the constraint in the strategy definition. The process then allocates the strategy value to the roles within the strategy, based on the role weightings. The process then allocates the role values to the competencies and accomplishments within each role, based upon the importance that is placed on each.

The input tables for the process are the WA_WP_STRAT_DFN table and its children.

The output tables for the process are:

Setting Up a Scenario Definition

You set up scenario IDs using the EPM Foundation Scenarios component. That is where you specify the model and calendar, and otherwise define a scenario. The component is documented in the PeopleSoft Enterprise Performance Management Fundamentals

Setting Up the Process Run Control for the Value Allocation Process

You set up and run Workforce Planning jobstreams for the Value Allocation, Match, and Merge processes by accessing the Run Jobstream page directly from the Workforce Analytics, Workforce Planning menu. The Run Jobstream page is documented in the PeopleSoft Enterprise Performance Management Fundamentals

The run control definition includes these basic elements:

  • Business unit.

  • Scenario ID.

  • Fiscal year and accounting period.

  • Jobstream ID.

Fiscal Year and Accounting Period

Regardless of which run control page you use, run Workforce Planning scenarios for a fiscal year and accounting period. Do not run them based on an as of dated jobstream.

Jobstream ID

The prompt list values for the jobstream ID are those jobstreams that are associated with an engine ID of WA_VALUE or WA_MATCH. The delivered jobstreams are:
