Utilization Interactive Reports from PeopleSoft Analytic Calculation Engine

With the Forecasting feature, you can analyze forecast utilization and actual utilization at a summary business unit or organizational level and drill down to detailed information for individual resources. PeopleSoft Analytic Calculation Engine provides the utilization interactive reports. You do not need a separate database to store data.

PeopleSoft Analytic Calculation Engine reports are dynamic and interactive. You can move data elements on a report and view them using different dimensions. Viewing information from different angles provides in-depth information about the organization, such as how much capacity is available for additional workloads and how well the organization was utilized in the past. You can also evaluate the accuracy of forecasted information by comparing forecasted utilization to actual utilization.

PeopleSoft Analytic Calculation Engine output can be exported to Microsoft Excel or printed. The communication between a PeopleSoft Analytic Calculation Engine interactive report and the database is one-way. The changes that you make on the interactive report do not affect the data in the database.

When you initiate a process request to launch the Forecast Utilization interactive report or the Actual to Forecast Utilization interactive report, the system:

1. Determines the scope of resources.

2. Determines capacity and forecasted utilized project and personal (policy) hours of the resources.

3. For the Actual to Forecast Utilization report, determines actual utilized project and personal hours of the resources, taking into account adjustments to actual time.

4. Obtains descriptions and SetID mappings.
