Why is PMI showing hours instead of FTE in Budget (Target) & forecast?

If you’ve selected FTE in the Budget & Forecast module but the system still shows Hours under productivity, here’s what to check:

Possible Reasons:

  1. FTEs are centrally managed: In some cases, FTE values are uploaded or controlled by a central team (e.g., head office), which overrides local FTE input and forces the view to show hours.
  2. Toggle was not applied correctly: Double-check that the FTE toggle is selected. If needed, refresh the view after toggling.
  3. Permissions or configuration: Some user roles or property setups may not allow FTE input locally. Instead, the interface defaults to hours.

What to do:

  • Confirm that the FTE toggle is selected.
  • Try refreshing the page after changing the toggle.
  • If it still shows hours, check internally if your FTEs are managed centrally.
  • If unclear, contact your administrator or controller for confirmation.
