Projected FTE calculation callout

The Projected FTE (full-time equivalent) calculation allows customers to create custom logic to calculate the values for specific labor metric columns in the MR and OTS edit screens.

As of release 2024.04, you can implement this callout by developing an extension script that determines the logic for custom sort orders.

See "Extension script callouts" in the Infor Workforce Management Custom Scripting Developer Guide.

For customers with existing implementations of this callout, the class name is migrated from the registry parameter to the Extension Script Callout maintenance form during upgrades. Additionally, the FTE_CALC_SVC parameter has been removed from the system.

Implementation details

The callout calculates and populates these columns:

  • Proj FTE (Projected FTE)
  • Proj Hrs (Projected Hours)
  • Stat Days

To calculate these values, access to information for the number of shifts on the row and various custom data pieces, is necessary.

For example, one way to calculate the Proj FTE value is:

Projected hours / FTE hours in a year

Where:

  • "Projected hours" is calculated as the number of shift hours (excluding breaks) in each rotation multiplied by the number of rotation repetitions in a year.
  • The number of rotation repetitions is calculated as the number of days in a year (stored in a custom table) divided by the number of days in the rotation.
  • "FTE hours in a year" is a value stored in a custom table.
