Concept: Role Requirements in Quotes

Concept: Role Requirements in Quotes

The role requirements are defined on the project role in the
Maintain Project Roles
task. When you add a role with role requirements to a quote:
  • Workday displays the default role requirements.
  • You can also add or modify the role requirements manually for the role line.
Upon quote approval, Workday automatically passes the requirements from the quote to downstream resulting resource plan lines.

Functionality Behavior:

  • When you add a role line to a Service, Workday defaults the role requirements if they exist on the project role.
  • When you add a service to the quote from
    Services Catalog
    , Workday defaults the role requirements if they exist on the project role (set up in the
    Maintain Project Roles
    task).
  • When you copy a quote, or copy a role line, the associated role requirements are carried over to the new quote or new role.
  • The downstream Opportunity Project and Project created from a quote retain the specified role requirements and display the values on the
    Resource Plan
    tab in the
    Project Role Requirements
    section.

Changes on the Quote or the Project:

  • Removing a role requirement from an approved quote's role line also removes it from the project resource plan line upon re-approval.
  • You can edit the role requirements on the project resource plan lines manually after the
    Quote Event
    completes.
  • When the quote event is still in progress, Workday prevents you from editing the project resource plan line until the event completes.
  • Same Role Requirement Category
    : When you change an existing quote and re-submit it, the new requirements override the manual updates made on the resource plan line for the same role requirement category.
  • Different Role Requirement Category
    : When you change an existing quote, and re-submit it, Workday doesn’t override the manual updates to role requirements defined on the project, when the category on the project resource plan line is different from the category on the quote.

Reporting

You can use the
Quote Role Requirements
report field on the
Quote Role Line Abstract
business object in custom reports to view the role requirements for the quote role line.
