Project Planning Performance Labor and Expense Tab

Use the Labor and Expense tab to specify additional options for displaying labor, expense, and consultant data on the Project Planning Performance report.

Contents

Field Description
Include Budgeted Employees Select this option to include employees (named resources) who are budgeted in plans.

Budgeted employees for a plan include not only employees with planned hours and amounts but also any employees who were not explicitly assigned to the plan but for whom job-to-date (JTD) actual charges exist for planned work breakdown structure (WBS) elements.

Include Generic Resources

Select this option to include generic resource categories (such as architect or geologist). Generic resources can be based on either labor codes or labor categories.

When you select this option, but the Include Budgeted Employees option is not selected, the Project Planning Performance report groups together generic resources with similar labor categories or labor codes based on the generic method of the plan. The labor category or labor code description displays instead of the generic resource name. If different generic resources exist, an asterisk displays after the labor category or labor code description.

Show Vendor Name Select this option to display the names of vendors associated with planned expenses.
Show Consultant Name Select this option to display consultant names.
