Labor Resource Planned and Actuals

Use the Labor Resource Planned and Actuals report to review both planned and actual labor hours for projects.

This report can help you determine if the project is on schedule, to understand the reasons why or why not, and to improve performance on similar projects in the future. If a resource or a task in a plan does not have planned hours scheduled during the reporting period and does not have actual hours reported for that period, Deltek does not include that resource or task on the report.

Multiple Companies

If you set the Use Organization from option on the Options tab to Employee/Generic Resource, Deltek prorates values and calculates standard hours based on the holidays and non-working days set up for the company associated with the organization to which the employee is assigned.

If you set the Use Organization from option on the Options tab to Project, Deltek prorates values and calculates standard hours based on the holidays and non-working days set up for the company associated with the organization to which the project is assigned.

If you set the Use Organization from option on the Options tab to Plan, Deltek prorates values and calculates standard hours based on the holidays and non-working days set up for the company associated with the organization to which the plan is assigned.

If the resource is not assigned to a plan, Deltek uses the company associated with the organization to which the employee is assigned in the Employees hub.

If the resource is a generic resource rather than a named employee, Deltek uses the company associated with the organization to which the plan is assigned on the Project Planning form.

Match JTD Option

This report is affected by the Match JTD option, which you set on the Project Planning form.

For any plan that is mapped to a project, use the Match JTD option on the Default WBS Mapping dialog box in Planning to specify the level of matching between job-to-date information and work breakdown structure (WBS) levels. (To display that dialog box, click Default WBS Mapping on the Options menu on the Project Planning form.) When you select that option for a level, all subsequent levels are automatically selected. When a level is not selected, Deltek calculates the job-to-date value as the sum of values from lower levels.

For example, suppose you have two plans, both of which are mapped to the same project. However, plan 1 is mapped to phase A of that project and plan 2 is mapped to phase B. If you select Match JTD for the phase level, Deltek accumulates actual values at the phase level, rather than at the project level. As a result, the job-to-date values are accurate for each of the plans. If you do not select Match JTD for the phase level, Deltek accumulates job-to-date values at the project level. In that case, job-to-date values for plan 1 could incorrectly include actual activity for phase B, and those for plan 2 could incorrectly include actual activity for phase A.

Options Dialog Box

Use the Options dialog box to specify reporting options for a report. Depending on the report, the dialog box contains one or more of the following tabs: General, Sorting/Grouping, Columns, Budget, Metrics, User Defined Sections, Activity, Drill Down, Layout, and Graph.
