    Release 3.74 

    Release Date: August 12, 2024 

    Selective Exclusion of Labor Allocation Rules from Fully Burdened Labor Calculation 

    In Planning release 3.74, we have introduced a new feature allowing Admin users to exclude specific Labor Allocation Rules from the fully burdened labor calculation in the Labor tab. This enhancement ensures that these rules will still generate financial line items on the Summary tab but will not affect the FY totals displayed in the Labor tab. 

    Previously, in Planning release 3.71, we enhanced the budget owner's ability to view the fully burdened labor cost directly in the Expenses > Labor tab when viewing the FY total columns, eliminating the need to navigate to the Expenses > Summary section. For more details, please visit the 3.71 release notes. 

    To accommodate organizations that prefer not to include certain labor allocation rules in the FY total shown on the Expenses > Labor tab, the following updates are introduced in this release: 

    • A new column, "Exclude from Labor Calculation," has been added to the Labor Allocation Rules table.
    • Admin users can select to exclude a rule directly within the table interface.
    • Rules are included in the Labor FY Total calculation by default. To exclude a rule, check the corresponding checkbox.
    • When a rule is marked for exclusion, it does not impact the FY Total displayed in the Labor tab but continues to generate a financial line item on the Summary tab. 

    Bug Fixes 

    Budget owners will now see the fully burdened cost for the fiscal year correctly displayed as the sum of all generated costs from actual periods and the generated costs from forecast periods. Previously, the absence of Labor actuals led to the Fully Burdened Fiscal Year column displaying amounts significantly lower than the Base Compensation amount in Forecast plans. With this fix, actual periods are calculated using the Labor Allocation Rules and included in the fully burdened "Labor Cost" amounts in the Labor tab; however, financials are not generated for historical periods in the Summary tab.
