How the Resource Target Utilization Percentage is Determined

You can set up target utilization percentage from the Manage Target Utilization Percentage setup page. It is the percentage of hours that project enterprise labor resources are expected to work on project assignments compared to their available hours.

Once set, it shows in the Resource Manager Dashboard, against which actual and projected utilization can be compared.

How to Set Up Resource Target Utilization Percentage

You can setup the target utilization at two levels

Level	UI Component	Description
Enterprise	Enterprise Target Utilization Percentage	Applies to all managed project enterprise labor resources unless specific override percentages exist for a resource's job.
Resource Job	Target Utilization Percentage Overrides	Sets the percentage for resources with specific jobs and overrides the enterprise target utilization percentage for this role . The resources must be assigned this job in Oracle HCM

Target Utilization Percentage Calculation

The Update Resource Utilization Data process calculates target utilization for all resources assigned to resource pools.

Example

Assume that the target utilization for the enterprise is 80%. To set up the target utilization, change the default enterprise target utilization percentage from 100% to 80% on the Manage Target Utilization Percentages setup page.

Also assume that Senior Architects spend half their time on internal activities. To set up the target utilization for Senior Architects, enter 50% as the target utilization override for the job of Senior Architect.

The application uses 80% as the target utilization percentage for all resources but overrides for the job of Senior Architect and instead use 50% to calculate the percentage.
