In Oracle HRMS, we can
define non-monetary budgets, such as headcount or full-time equivalents (FTEs) that
are based on organization’s work structures. Budgets can be defined against an organization, job, grade, position, or any combination of these. You can
monitor the budgets by comparing the budget values with actual values derived
from employee assignments.
For example, you might define a headcount budget of two for the
position Marketing Manager. The variance of the actual value from the budget
value depends on the number of employees assigned to that position at any time.
A negative variance indicates a vacancy.
