Configure Manager Metrics Reporting

Configure Manager Metrics Reporting

Configure definitions for the
Manager Metrics
report for your companies and company hierarchies. The report provides managers with a quick snapshot of organization costs and average cost per headcount for a cost center, region, custom organization, or project.
  1. Access the
    Configure Manager Metrics
    task.
  2. As you complete the task, consider:
    Option Description
    Company
    Select one or more companies and company hierarchies that the manager metrics definition applies to. All must use the same fiscal schedule and belong to the same account set.
    Translation Currency
    The currency of the report. You can run the report in any currency in which you have exchange rates for conversion.
    Translation Rule Set
    If the company currency differs from the translation currency, select the translation rule set to use to calculate the translated amounts. You can use any of these translation rule sets:
    • The default translation rule set of the company.
    • Any other account translation rule set of the company.
    Default Time Period
    The relative time period choices that Workday provides, such as current period year to date (YTD), last 12 periods, and last year. The user who runs the report can change this selection.
    Book
    Narrow the activity in the reporting metrics to a specific book.
  3. Select the
    Organization Metrics
    , including the key
    Account/Account Summary
    for each measure.
  4. (Optional) Select a
    Financial Headcount Definition
    to include a headcount metrics section in the report.
    This selected definition drives the calculation of headcount on the report. The metric fields on the report include:
    Budgeted
    ,
    Filled
    ,
    Open
    ,
    Available Plan
    , and
    Plan Usage
    . When you run the report for an organization hierarchy, Workday aggregates the headcount metrics for all child organizations.
Managers can run the
Manager Metrics
report. Metrics default to the organization and time period from the definition, but managers can click
Change Selection
to select a different organization and relative time period. If the manager belongs to more than 1 organization, Workday uses the highest organization within the highest hierarchy node.
