Resource Management Graphics
You can use the side panel of the Business Context Viewer (BCV) to display the resource assignment information in a given time frame. The displayed data is distributed over periods. The following graphics are available:
Role Staffing
Displays all resource assignments of the selected role with the assigned effort. The assigned effort is displayed in a stacked column chart in which each color represents a single staffing.
Role Demand
Displays the aggregated values for the remaining demand including soft bookings, the remaining demand excluding soft bookings, and the total demand of the selected role. Each value is represented by a single bar per time frame.
Business Partner Staffing
Displays all role assignments for the selected business partner. This can also include role assignments from other projects. The assigned effort is displayed in a stacked column chart in which each color represents a single staffing.
Business Partner Availability
Displays the aggregated values for total availability, remaining availability including soft bookings, and remaining availability excluding soft bookings for a selected resource.
The following graphics are only available if you have activated the Enhanced Capital and Resource Mgmt Switch
in Customizing for SAP Portfolio and Project Management
under , if CATS confirmation is active, and if you use the role-based confirmation scenario:
Comparison of Planned vs. Confirmed Data for Role/Task
Displays the planned versus the confirmed time for a task in a column chart containing one column for the planned time and one column for the confirmed time. The sum of all task-role assignments is displayed on the y-axis: the task is displayed on the x-axis.
Confirmed Times of Business Partner
Displays the confirmed data of a business partner per task in a single column
The system transfers the time unit from the object for which the Business Context Viewer should be displayed. The period type (weekly or monthly) is derived from the project header.
Note
You can use the BAdI DPR_BCV_RES to define your own settings for the BCV display.
You can only display a comparison of planned and confirmed times for a role if you are using a role-based confirmation scenario.
