Requested Allocation form

Use Requested Allocation form to create a request for resource plans in Planning or Rejected state.

FieldDescription
Start dateStart date for the requested allocation record.
End dateEnd date for the requested allocation record.
FTE

Number of units for the full-time equivalent selection for the requested allocation record.If a resource is requested as FTE, then the planned hours for each requested allocation record are calculated first. A total of all hours is then rolled up as planned hours on the resource plan. See Resource plans for an explanation of FTEs.

Note: Capacity isn’t derived from FTE, but from schedules. Both FTE and schedules must be in synchronization with each other.

Resource planResource plan number to which the requested allocation record is attached. This field automatically populates if the requested allocation record is accessed from a resource plan.
Planned hoursNumber of hours to allocate to the requested allocation record.By default, the Resource Plan form on the resource plan form are proportionally distributed among all the requested allocations based on the number of working days for each requested allocation record. However, it’s possible to override the planned hours or the FTE.
Planned cost

Estimated cost of resource. Planned cost = Planned hours * hourly rate

The hourly rate is derived from one of the following sources:

  • Resource rate from the resource plan, if the Rate override option is selected.
  • Rate model, if it’s populated on the project or demand to which the resource plan is associated.
  • Labor rate card for user resource plans.
  • Role rate when resource is requested by resource role, if the role has a rate.
  • Group hourly rate if role doesn’t have a rate or if the role is null.
  • System property com.snc.time_card.default_rate if all the other conditions fail.

Planned costs roll up to the Planned cost field on the resource plan.
