Object documentationSuitability Percentage

 

If you use the Workforce Management Core planning service, the system uses a profile matchup in the resource search to compare the requirements profile with the resource's qualification profile and thus determine a suitability percentage. The suitability rate can be used to generate hitlists for the staffing of a project.

Example Example

Suitability percentage

100.00 %: The person is 100% suitable for the requirements profile

40.00 %: The person is 40% suitable for the requirements profile

End of the example.

The relative proficiencies are the deciding factor in the calculation of the suitability percentage. A relative proficiency is determined by viewing the proficiency of the qualification as specified in the resource search in relation to the maximum proficiency that is defined by the qualification scale. The result is the relative proficiencies of the requirements and of the qualifications.

Note Note

Note that in Resource Management alternative qualifications are not taken into account in the calculation of the suitability percentage.

End of the note.

In Customizing, you can also store your own calculations to determine the suitability rate of a resource. To do so, process the following Customizing activity: Start of the navigation path Customer Relationship Management Next navigation step Workforce Deployment Next navigation step WFD Server Next navigation step Business Settings for WFD Server Next navigation step Resource Settings Next navigation step Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) Next navigation step Business Add-In: Suitability of Resources by Qualifications End of the navigation path.

 

When you start the resource search, the system first checks whether each requirement is covered by the qualification profile. If it is, the system compares the relative proficiencies: The optimum scenario is that they match, but the resource may instead be over- or under-qualified. If the proficiency of the qualification is greater than that of the requirement, the resource is overqualified; if the proficiency of the qualification is less than that of the requirement, the resource is under-qualified.

If the requirement is mandatory, the qualification is weighted more heavily. In this process, an over-qualification is weighted less heavily than an under-qualification.

To determine the degree of requirement satisfaction in relation to the entire profile, the system then multiplies the calculated value with the percentage of the overall requirements profile.

Note Note

In the search results list (see Resource Search Results), the system always displays over-qualifications as a 100% suitability.

End of the note.

There are only two types of priority in relation to requirements: essential requirements and optional requirements. The priority of requirements is not split further because it would not make sense from a business point of view and would not be user-friendly.

Essential requirements are weighted more heavily than optional requirements. The system takes account of the weighting when calculating the proportion of the individual requirements to the entire profile, because an essential requirement within a requirements profile is more important than an optional requirement of the profile.
