Hello,If I understand the requirements, then you should be able to use Resource Forecast and connect it to the Project Forecast. This way the planned and reported hours are transferred from resource planning to the forecast and ETC/EAC are calculated.Suggest that you use the method: Copy from Project Resource Planning and connect a snapshot to get reported values when you create the Resource Forecast. Thereafter connect it to the Project Forecast.Hope that helps,Åsa R&D
Hello,Unfinished Activity Work was developed to help users to be able close activities. An activity cannot be closed until all work that is in progress has been finished. It could be any activity connected work like a Shop Order in Released status or transactions that has not yet been transferred to General Ledger. Generating Unfinished Work will present those unfinished work items in this window. When there are no unfinished work, it should be possible to Close the activity.This window is mentioned in the online documentation under the the Project Conclusion process. In addition, If you are using IFS Enterprise Explorer then you should be able to use F1 to get a description of what this window is used for. (F1 function does not work for IFS Cloud.) Hope that helps,Åsa R&D
Hi Lee,I am not sure what version of IFS Applications/IFS Cloud you are on, but the connection is made from the Project Forecast, using the option Forecast Connections. In the online documentation under the process Create and Develop Project Budget, there is an activity called: Connect/Disconnect Resource Forecast, that describes this. Kind regardsÅsa
Hi,If you have an activity connected Shop Order in Planned status and run Generate Unfinished Activity Work Itmes, then there should be a record of that shop order in that window with the message. The generation can be done for a project sub project or a specific activity.“The object has not reached its final status. Work remains to complete the object.” I just verified this in the latest IFS Cloud version, but this should work the same in IFS Applications 9.
Without seeing all data setup for the training event, it is difficult to answer, but one thing you can check is if the training event has an Agenda defined. The agenda is required for the hours to show in Resource Analysis. Also remember to Refresh the snapshot in Resource Analysis to get the latest demand data.
The workaround is to remove the company and site filter for individual resources, or if applicable to use an HR Schedule for person resources.To clarify why this happened and what was corrected in LCS bug 156099;The issue applies to Individual resources using a work time Calendar as basis for capacity calculation. The work time calendar is global and not associated to any company or site, hence the capacity data does not include company/site information. When the company/site filter was applied, these records was filtered out from Resource Analysis.After the correction, Resource Capacity data will be displayed for the individual resource when the company/site filter is applied, despite it not having company/site information.Capacity calculated based on HR Schedules are not effected by this correction, due to that HR schedules are set up per company and therefor already work as expected when filtered.
You are correct in the fact that you need a resource group for the hours to come through to the corresponding resource planning line. When you write that the system does not accept it, do you mean that the resource field is not editable or do you get any kind of error message? What status is the transaction in?
The resource group -is it setup to be used in Projects? (Resource Details/Details).And is there a cost setup for the reported dates?
Could you also check if there is a Primary Parent Resource group defined in Resource Details for the Person resource (set on the Connections tab)?. It should pick the primary resource group as default, but it should also be possible to select other resource groups. I am out of ideas on why your LoV does not show any resource groups.
Glad it worked out 😀
IFS Academy is responsible for training courses. Please contact them directly to see if there are any plans to update/create material for IFS Cloud in these areas. In addition, with every release R&D provides News Presentations and other release material explaining the new functionality. Please have a look at the release information to see if there is anything in there that is useful.
Hi,Have you run the command “Refresh Resource Analysis Snapshot”? . This function was introduced to improve the performance of the Resource Analysis page. This will take a new snapshot of all resource demands and update the graph. This function should be run when changes to resource demands have been made to display the accurate data.
Could you please post this issue to the community group: HCM Human Capital Management?
It seems thar some field descriptions are missing from the page. I will follow up on that. Here are some field descriptions that may be useful: SPISchedule Performance Index, calculated as Earned Value divided by the Budgeted Cost for Work Scheduled, BCWP/BCWS. It indicates if the progress is ahead of or behind schedule. A value of one (1) indicates that the work performed is in accordance with the work scheduled to be performed. A value greater than 1 indicates that work performed is ahead of schedule, and a value less than 1 indicates that work performed is behind schedule. This field is calculated and cannot be modified. Value on the sum line is using the summarized values for the entire selection in the calculation. It is not a simple sum of the column.CPICost Performance Index, calculated as the Earned Value divided by the Actual Cost of Work Performed, BCWP/ACWP. It indicates if the budgeted cost for the work performed is more or less than the actual cost for work performed. A v
Adding to the above answerTop-Down Progress MethodsIf the progress method is Duration, Template Progress, Tasks (of type Top-Down) or Manual (of type Top-Down):Activity progress: the calculated cost progress and calculated hours progress values on the activity level are assigned according to the selected progress method. Cost element progress: the cost progress value of the cost element is taken from the Calculated Cost Progress of the activity, and the hours progress value of the cost element is taken from the Calculated Hours Progress of the activity. The progress values are used to calculate the earned value for each cost element line. The progress of the connected objects is ignored.Bottom-Up Progress MethodsIf the progress method is Consumption Based, Connected Objects, Tasks (of type Bottom-Up) or Manual (of type Bottom-Up):Cost element progress: The cost progress and hours progress values on the cost element level are assigned according to the selected progress method.
