Hi Patrick,Report Code is one of the Resource Criteria that can be configured against a project.Once setup it is possible to enter a value for these other than ‘%’ in Resource Planning in order to plan resources at a lower level.Any allocations made against those planning lines would also show the respective resource criteria values in Employee Allocation too.Hope this helps.Thanks and regardsHugh

Hello @Johan Lagerströmand @Hugh,I can’t thank both of you enough for the help on this issue. It is fantastic that I could use the community to get this answer. As an experienced projects person, I should have remembered that Resource Critereia controls this.Maybe when the field help gets added to this page, it will mention that the values listed are those defined as the Resrouce Criterian in the Project Setup.Thanks again for the great answers!Patrick
