PA11


PA11.1 - Assigned Resources

Use PA11.1 (Assigned Resources) to view the current head count and FTE for
employees and requisitions. You can count assigned resources by position; by
process level and job code; or by process level, department, and job code.
Each of these options is known as a count category.

This form also displays budgeted totals by count category and calculates the
variance between assigned resource and budgeted. The Personnel Administration
system displays the budget record that is current as of the system date. If
the budget record has an effective date that is greater than the budget
approved through date defined in PA06.1 (Position Rules), zeros display in the
Totals fields.

Assigned resource totals calculate based on position rules that you define in
PA06.1, HR00.1 (HR Company), HR03.1 (Employee Status Codes), and HR04.1
(Requisition Status Codes).

If you selected Yes in the Automatic Counting field in PA06.1, the assigned
resource counts are updated by operations you perform on the system such as
hiring an employee, terminating an employee, or creating a requisition. You
have the option of adjusting these counts manually if needed. For example, you
might want to add counts for temporary employees not tracked in the system.

This form shows a current count of employees and requisitions. If you do not
use automatic counting, have turned it off temporarily, or have changed a
position rule, the assigned resource counts may not be current or accurate.
Run PA111 (Recalculate Assigned Resources) to update the assigned resource
counts.
