Labor Resource Requirements

Use the Labor Resource Requirements report to Review the hours and costs required to meet the resource assignments specified in current plans, balance staffing requirements across project plans, and verify reasonable resource utilization. If a resource or a task in a plan does not have planned hours scheduled during the reporting period, Vision does not include that resource or task on the report.

Access to Labor Cost Information

The Labor Cost Rates/Amounts option on the Accounting tab of the Roles form (Configuration > Security > Roles) determines your access to actual labor cost rates and amounts when you preview or print Planning reports. In some cases, it also determines your access to planned labor costs.

Non-Work Days

When it calculates a plan's hours, cost amounts, or billing amounts, Vision takes into consideration the company's non-work days specified on the Holiday Configuration form (Configuration > General > Holiday Calendar).

When it prorates values and calculates standard hours, Vision takes into consideration the non-work days specified on the Holiday Configuration form for the company that was active when the plan was created.

If hours or amounts are posted to a span of non-work days or holidays and those non-work days fall completely within the start and end dates of a period column on the report, they are included on the report for that period. If the non-work days do not completely fall within a period column on the report (for example, if they fall within more than one report period), the proration process may exclude them from the report.

Multicompany

If your firm uses the Multicompany feature, Vision 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 the resource is a generic resource, rather than a named employee, then Vision uses the company specified via the organization code on the plan's record.

For a generic resource, rather than a named employee, Vision uses the company associated with the organization to which the plan is assigned.

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.
