Weekly View 

Use

A resource list where each day of the week is a column with a row for each resource. You can choose from a series of data display options for each day’s cell data.

You can enhance or modify the cell content and column data you see in the weekly view by choosing SAP IMG ® Customer Relationship Management ® Workforce Deployment ® Service Resource Planning ® Basic Settings ® Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) ® Business Add-In: Resource List Display.

 

Prerequisites

See Resource Overview.

 

Features

Each column is the time unit, that is the days of the week where each cell is one day. You see N.A. (not available) in all columns where the data is not applicable for the resource. You can choose to display the following information for each day when viewing resources within the weekly view. When the cell content contains more than one type of data, you see the cell content as data1 / data2.

Weekly View Cell Content Data Types

Cell Content Type	Description
assigned / available	All assignments (booking types Reserved and Booked) / Basic availability
booked / available	Assignments with the booking type Booked / Basic availability
remaining	Hours remaining on the assignment calculated by the basic availability minus assigned time (booking types Reserved and Booked)
remaining (only booked assigned)	Hours remaining on the assignment calculated by the basic availability minus assigned time (considering only the booking type Booked)
customer name	The name of the customer to which the resource is assigned on this day
demand description	The description of the demand description from the resource’s current assignment
description of location	Depending upon the demand, either the location of the project demand or the location defined through customizing of the Define Location of Service to be Performed activity for service order items
description of time allocation type	The description of the most relevant time allocation type
customer defined cell content	Cell content based on the BAdI configured by the customer.

You see an asterisk (*) at the end of the values contained in the cells “assigned/available”, “remaining”, “booked / available” and “booked remaining” when the cells refer to external resources with overall capacity as this information is not per day but per contract duration.

Example of “assigned / available” Cell Content for External Overall Resource

Resource	Resource Type	Mon	Tue	Wed	Thur	Fri
OED	External (OD)	20/100*	0/100*	0/100*	0/100*	0/100*
Mary Breeden	Internal	6/8	2/8	0/8	8/8	5/5

 

Time zone conversion can cause situations where a resource with a capacity type “overall” can have two quotas on the same day. To indicate this condition, you see two asterisks (**) at the end of these values. For example, Mary Breeden has:

·        Quota 1 valid from Monday through Tuesday with 70 hours

·        Quota 2 valid from Tuesday through Wednesday with 80 hours

Due to the time zone conversion, there is a double count in Tuesday.

Double Count Due to Time Zone Conversion

Resource	Mon	Tue	Wed
Service Company (OD)	0/70*	0/150**	0/80*

 

You can add or change the information you see in the weekly view as well as length of the week and the days of the week. For more information, see Personalize.
