View definition

Workforce Budgeting uses a Decision view to:

  • Apply Architect employee detail budgeting security. If a user has read-only access to a primary dimension member. the user will not see this member on the Workforce Budgeting data entry pages. However, the user can run Workforce Budgeting reports for the member.
  • Drive default selections.
  • Control the appearance of Workforce Budgeting to the budgeter.

The Decision view is referenced in the URL to access the Workforce Budgeting pages.

See the Infor CPM Administration Guide for information on View Manager.

Cube

The Decision view must use the WFBSetup cube of the model data source. See the Infor CPM Administration Guide for further information on the WFBSetup cube.

Accumulation Method

  • Set at least one allowed Version member. Setting multiple allowed version members enables budgeters to work on multiple versions at the same time.
  • Local currency must be allowed.
  • Untranslated rate set must be allowed.
  • All Periods must be allowed.
  • Allowed Years must at least include the budgeting cycle of the Workforce Budgeting module.
  • At least one allowed member in every non-allocation or non-primary custom dimension.
  • If using the Adjusted State dimension, the Reported member must be allowed.
  • If you want to map data from the Workforce Budgeting tables to the financial tables, at least one Schedule must be allowed. The schedule's periodicity must match the periodicity of Workforce Budgeting. We recommend you create a schedule specifically for Workforce Budgeting mapping that includes only those lines used for mapping and that matches the periodicity of the Workforce Budgeting module.
  • Allowed members of the Unit and any custom dimensions are specified to limit the options available in Workforce Budgeting for the budgeter. We recommend limiting members to leaf members only and selecting the Workforce Budgeting-specific hierarchy for the primary dimension.

Accumulation Method

  • Set default values for all dimensions by setting off-grid selections. Defaults are referenced at the time they are used. (After a mapping is saved, it no longer references the Decision view.)
  • The default for Version is utilized as an initial filter upon initial page access and in reporting.
  • The default for the primary dimension is utilized in the Administration page to determine the hierarchy for calculating Workforce Budgeting, if the dimension is hierarchical. The top member of the hierarchy containing the default off-grid member is used to define the scope of the calculation on the Administration pages.
  • The default for non-allocation and non-primary dimensions is used as the default for mapping.
  • The default members must be writeable.
  • Off-grid selections must be leaf members or writeback fails.
  • If using multiple views, the off-grid Version member should be synchronized so that report users are viewing the same default version that is being calculated.
