• Key Concepts: 
  Forecasted Utilization is a feature of SAP's Resource Pool Management (RPM) component of the Human Capital Management (HCM) module. It allows users to forecast the utilization of resources in their organization, such as personnel, equipment, and materials. This helps organizations plan for future resource needs and optimize their resource utilization. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use Forecasted Utilization, users must first define the resources they want to forecast. This includes specifying the type of resource, the quantity, and the time period for which the forecast should be made. Once these parameters are set, users can enter data into the system to generate a forecast. The system will then generate a report that shows the expected utilization of each resource over the specified time period. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a forecast, it is important to consider both short-term and long-term needs. Short-term forecasts can help organizations plan for immediate needs, while long-term forecasts can help them plan for future resource requirements. Additionally, it is important to consider external factors that may affect resource utilization, such as changes in market conditions or customer demand.
