  • 1.  ITP Actuals Headcount

    Posted 03/20/19 04:24 PM

    Just wondering if anyone ran into this

    • Our actuals for employee salaries are anonymous in our cost source GL.
    • We don't have a data set right now that currently updates what our actual headcount is when we import the actuals

    The question is...how do you have keep track of what your actual headcount is in ITP for the previous months?

    • Do you go back into the forecasts and update each month when you get the actuals? 
      • We get a separate set of data from HR that gives us our headcount 
      • It seems like a pretty manual process to go in and reconcile

    How do you handle reconciling your actual vs. planned headcount in ITP so you can have a retrospective look at your headcount planning throughout the year?

    Yes, it is a manual process. But a needed one!.  We import a file from the HR system each month, and the TBM office does the manual reconciliation (except for to be hired entries). There is a way to automate it in CT but it is low in the priority list.

    Adjusting the HC forecast belongs got the CC managers.

    Hi @Kelli King!

     

    To the best of my knowledge, Juan José Jarillo gave a similar answer to which I had initially thought (CT is probably a better place for something like this than ITP, in its current state). That said, I'm asking around to see if there are other option for you, in the meantime. Perhaps it wouldn't be a bad idea to submit this as a RFE for the ITP team?
