Hi @Captain Gaming ,
Great that response was helpful.
I believe you misunderstood the document statement.
Let me answer the points one by one:
"1. If an employee is available after the year has begun, then the capacity is generated from the current year's beginning, to ensure that missing capacity is accounted for. For example, if the employee's capacity is available from March 1, 2022 to June 1, 2022, then the updated capacity is generated from January 1, 2022 to June 1, 2022.What is the reason behind generating capacity for January and February when the employee is available only from March?
Servicenow Documentation: https://www.servicenow.com/docs/bundle/yokohama-it-business-management/page/product/resource-managem..."
You cannot generate the capacity outside the employment dates. In this case, you cannot generate the capacity for January and February if the employment start date is March.
For example:
User employment start date is March 1st , refer employment profile screenshot..
Now run the resource report to just check the capacity of this user. Note that Jan & Feb has zero capacity since user's employment start date is March 1st
Now you try to update the user's capacity using the UI acton and provide the start date as January (basically when the user was NOT employed). You will get an error as system will NOT generate the capacity outside the employment dates.
2. "From where it is taking Employee Start date?"
It takes the start date and end date from the employment profile of that user.
3. "What would be the impact of modifying this out-of-the-box (OOB) functionality so that capacity is generated only from the employee's actual start date instead of the beginning of the year?"
4. If it is possible to modify the OOB functionality, please provide a step-by-step process to ensure that capacity is generated only from the user’s actual start date (e.g., if a user is added to the group on March 1, and we are update the capacity for that user, capacity should be generated starting from March 1 instead of January 1).
5. what is your suggestions on these update capacity to go only for ootb or not?
I believe the explanation for point #1# takes away the need to answer point #3 - 5
OOTB behaviour is as you expected.
Hope this answers the queries & if it does please mark it as Correct Answer to help me & community.
Happy SPM Learning!!
