Allocation

Define how calculated Workforce Budgeting data for a position or employee is allocated across dimensions. Used when allocations are enabled in Workforce Budgeting.

There are these two types of allocation:

  • Position level. Specify the PositionID field to configure the action.
  • Position assignment level. Specify the PositionID and EmployeeID fields to configure the action.

The table WFB_Allocation.

The Allocation business object is used in these dimensions and cubes:

  • Dimensions
    • Workforce Budgeting Allocation (WBDALLOCATION)
  • Cubes
    • WFB Allocation Configuration (WBCCONFIG_ALLOCATION)

Allocation elements are created during the import process by the application in the WBDALLOCATION dimension which is in the WBDALLOCATION hierarchy under TOTAL_ALLOCATION.

The Allocation business object is related to these business objects:

  • Entity
