Labor Utilization Drill Through

If you identify a resource that is under- or over-utilized, you can click a resource ID on the main Labor Utilization report to drill through to the Labor Utilization drill report to quickly see the projects on which the resource is currently scheduled to work and the budgeted hours for each project.

This report offers another level of detail to help you analyze utilization issues that you identify on the main report.

The Labor Utilization drill report displays the resource’s budgeted hours for each project for the current period in Costpoint Planning and for the next five fiscal periods following the current period. For each period, the report also provides the resource’s total budgeted hours for all projects, the standard hours, and the labor utilization rate. (Budgeted hours come from the most recent budget version.)

Note: The Labor Utilization drill report always calculates labor utilization rates based on labor hours. As a result, if you calculated labor utilization rates based on cost on the Labor Utilization report, the rates on the drill report may not match those on the main report.

Your selection in the Exclude new business prompt for the main report determines whether or not the drill report displays new business (non-backlog) projects along with the existing projects.
