Apportionment Definition Tab of the Resource View
Apportionment is used to create budget, earned value, and a forecast for work that is based on other work.
For example, if you budget IT Support as a percentage of Engineering, the apportionment will help you develop your budget, earn value, and forecast for your IT Support.
Apportionment definition is the step where you specify how apportioned resources are calculated, which result to use in the calculation, and what resources the apportionment is based on. For example, if the IT Support resource is based on Engineering DIRECT dollars, you create an apportionment definition for the IT Support resource and select that the calculation is based on DIRECT. Then select the Engineering resource as the source resource.
Note: The Apportionment Definition is secured by role in the EPM Security Administrator. If a user's role does not provide access to apportionment definitions, the content of this is not displayed.
