Using this function, you can plan required positions per job centrally for the organizational units you are directly responsible for. You can plan either in full positions, or in full-time equivalents (FTE).

A planning type is chosen centrally for each planning round. In other words, it is determined whether the first plan, second plan or another plan created in Customizing will be followed. The line manager can, therefore, only plan those planning types that are marked as ‘current’ in the Plan Required Positions screen.

In the same way, the unit of time (months, weeks, quarters, years, for example) according to which positions are planned over the entire planning period (01.01.1999 - 31.12.1999, for example) is predefined centrally in Customizing.

• You can make quota planning settings in the corresponding customizing activities in the IMG (implementation guide), in the Manager’s Desktop component (Personal Management ® Manager’s Desktop ® Quota Planning), and in the Organizational Management component (Personnel Management ® Organizational Management ® Infotype Settings ® Quota Planning).
• You can find quota planning reports in the SAP Easy Access Menu under Personnel ® Organizational Management ® Tools ® Quota Planning.

In the Planned line, enter for each time period the total number of positions required in your area of responsibility. You must also take into account the existing positions that are displayed directly above in the Current line.
