In current scenario, planners are able to edit Labor data. We just want users to be able to view the labor data but not edit it. Is it possible to have "external" lines in Labor tab (similar to external lines in Asset and Financial tabs)? Currentl...

Enhancements to Variance Analysis

In addition to the capability to compare the variance for Full Year (FY) between to forecast plans (actuals + forecast) in Variance Analysis. We still need improvements before we can migrate from our current approach (outside of Apptio) to using V...

Add compare feature for Labor

Ability to create a filter on Contract Expiry Dates for xx number of months, instead of just a date

We want to have layouts and filters to be able to quickly see when contracts are expiring in xx number of months. At the moment, the filter is just entering in a date, which is not dynamic enough as you roll through months. Can this be uplifted to...

Additional field recognized as numeric needed for contract variance analysis.

We are maturing our planning capabilities and have come to the conclusion that a 3% price increase on our contracts is no longer sufficient across the board. In order to forecast more accurately, we are comparing a vendor's current contract price ...
