How does “Utilization details by resource” report use the planning units? (2014 SP2)

Question:

The planning unit for each Workgroup is set to 8 hours for daily capacity. However when using the "Utilization details by resource" report, for specific team that has work week of 43.5 hours (Mon-Thu 9hrs and 7.5 on Friday) it shows 42 hrs. How does “Utilization details by resource” report use the planning units and where does the above discrepancy come from?


 

Answer:

'Utilization details by resource' report does not use daily capacity. It uses the annual target hours from user setup divided by 250 (an estimate of working days within the year) and populates that against each working day. The working days come from the 'Demand and capacity - static' table. For daily capacity information, the 'Resource demand and capacity' report can be used.
