Task-based Items

There are two types of labor attribute maps available for task-based items:

Assignment-based The assignment-based labor attribute map rolls up (in the Plan dimension) task assignments made against items, and rolls up (in the Actual dimension) the user timesheet data that is submitted against a task or work item assignment. This data can be filtered by resource role, capital expenses, or operational expenses. Applying the CapEX filter rolls up assignments and timesheet actuals for all tasks that are marked as CapEX, thus capturing the labor component of capital expenses. The OpEx filter excludes the CapEX-marked tasks, with the assumption that all other labor data is operational in nature. Additionally, you can select a resource role or set of roles to filter; only the assignment and timesheet data for the selected roles is rolled up.
Allocation-based The allocation-based labor attribute map rolls up (in the Plan dimension) allocations made to items. This plan data can be filtered only by resource role; when you select a resource role or set of roles to filter; only the allocations for the selected roles is rolled up.

Adding an allocation-based labor attribute map

Allocation-based labor attribute maps roll-up allocations made against items to the Plan dimension and roll-up user timesheet that has been submitted against a work item. Before labor attribute mapping can be configured, be sure that a mappable Timephased - FTE attribute has been added.

To add an allocation-based labor attribute map

From the application toolbar, click Setup, and then select Customization.
Select the Labor Attribute Mapping tab.
Click New Labor Attribute Map.
Select Allocations.
Select the attribute from which the mapping is based from the Attribute drop-down. (This list is populated with Timephased - FTE attributes created from the Attributes Setup tab in the Customization module that are also marked as Mappable.)
You can filter the data by capital (CapEX) or operational (OpEx) expenses.
You can filter the data by a resource role.
Click Save.
