Different FTE value for Requested Allocation vs Resource Allocation records associated with Resource Plan record - Support and Troubleshooting

Different FTE value for Requested Allocation vs Resource Allocation records associated with Resource Plan record Issue  In the Resource Plan record, during the 12/01 - 12/15 dates, the Requested allocation record (in the Related list) displayed 1 FTE for that time period, which was calculated at 128. Then for the Resource allocation (also in the Related list) for that same time period, showed to be 128 hours, but at 1.45 FTE.

Cause The FTE [requested_fte] field for Resource Allocation records does not have a 1:1 relationship with the FTE [fte] field in Requested Allocation. Resolution This is expected behavior. The [requested_fte] field is controlled by the "SyncManDaysFteAndRequestedHours" Business Rule ( /nav_to.do?uri=sys_script.do?sys_id=f554bff293c4320064f572edb67ffb12 ), calling the calculateAndSetManDaysAndRequestedHoursFromFte function from the "ResourceAllocation" Script Include ( /nav_to.do?uri=sys_script_include.do?sys_id=ab40ce639321020057f772edb67ffb9e ), and the _fteToHours function defined below: _fteToHours: function(fte) { var averageDailyFte = this._userAverageDailyFte(); var workingDays = this._getWorkingDays(); var requestedHours = averageDailyFte * workingDays[0] * fte; return requestedHours; When the Resource Plan is set to "FTE" Request type, and the "Planned cost" changes before the Resource Plan is in Confirmed state, this calculation will be what determines the value of 'requested_fte' in the Resource Allocation record, the value is not taken from 'fte' field of Requested Allocation.
