Use Profile as a Template |
Click to import the job codes and departments that you previously set up in a demand profile. The system displays the page where you select the profile. If you don't enter any job codes or department information on this page, then the calculation is based solely on the profile that you specified. |
Budgeted Training Cost |
This represents the average cost of training the selected population. The system calculates the value when you click the Compute button, using the jobs that are associated with the specified job codes on the Job Code Salary Costs page. The calculation looks like this: Employee Training Budgeted Cost = (job code training cost × number of people in this job code) for all job codes in the Job Code field on this page / total number of people in the general demand. Note: Specify the default currency for business units for a budget period on the Budget Information table. Budgets are automatically converted to the default base currency that you establish on the Training Base Currency table. The system converts all training costs to the base currency to calculate training costs. |
Unit |
The system displays the cost unit that is associated with the amount in the Empl. Training Budgeted Cost field. |
Job Code
Specify the job codes that are included this training demand. When the system calculates the training demand, only employees with the selected job code are considered. The system also uses this job code information to calculate the average cost to train employees for this demand.
