Report #: Q0215

The purpose of the Project Labor Forecast is to provide visibility by Labor Type into the number of hours scheduled and assigned by period, for up to 24 periods.   Users may use this report to determine how labor resources are being used across projects, and review in order to optimize project labor schedule.

Key Data Used:

• Project TASKS
• Project SUB TASKS
• Time Bill Categories referencing Employee Labor Type

When establishing “Effort” at the Task level in a project, the amount of “Effort” applied to tasks over the given duration of the task will be forecast as “Scheduled” for the Labor type associated with the designated Time Bill Category.

When establishing “Effort” at the SubTask level in a project, the amount of “Effort” applied to tasks over the given duration of the task will be forecast as “Assigned” column for the given period.

The value is calculated by taking the number of days between the task Start and End date, and dividing the total Effort by that number of days to get an “effort per day”. “Effort per day” is then multiplied by the number of days in the period (month or week) to produce the Scheduled and Assigned values.
