From Budget Training

These results include all the demands that you budgeted for in the Budget Training business process.

For all of the budgeted training costs for the specified budget period, business unit, and departments in the departmental view ID), the system provides demand, duration and cost information as follows:

Category

Demand

Duration

Cost

Budgeted

Budgeted total demand (number of employees to be trained).

Budgeted total training duration that you estimated as part of the training budget.

Total budgeted training cost.

Projected

Projected (current realized) training demand (number of employees that are enrolled or are in training).

Projected (current realized) duration for the training that has occurred to date.

Projected cost for the training to date. The projected amounts here include those students that have been enrolled in the course sessions for that budget period, including those who have completed the course.

Percent of projected (realized) cost compared to budgeted cost

Projected (realized) demand compared to budgeted demand.

Projected (realized) duration compared to budgeted duration

Projected cost compared to budgeted cost. This represents the budget percentage you've projected that you will spend to date. Remember that you haven't actually spent this money yet, because it is only projected.

Actual training expenses incurred to date

Actual number of employees trained (demand).

Actual total training duration to date.

Actual cost to date.

Percentage of actual costs compared to projected costs

Actual number of employees trained compared to projected number of employees trained.

Actual duration amount compared to projected training duration amount.

Actual training cost compared to projected training cost. If the amount is 100 percent, then the projected budget amount equals the actual amount that you've spent. If the result is less than 100 percent, you still have projected budget money to spend. If the amount is more than 100 percent, then you've overspent the training budget.

Percentage of actual cost compared to budgeted cost

Actual (realized) demand compared to budgeted demand.

Actual (realized) duration compared to budgeted duration.

Actual (realized) cost compared to budgeted cost. This represents the percentage of the budget that you've spent to date.
