Create a non-monetary benefit plan to specify the estimated non-monetary benefit in a category for a fiscal period. Demand benefit plans capture the potential benefits accrued by the demand when the demand is executed.
Before you begin
Role required: it_demand_manager
About this task
The non-monetary benefit plan breakdown records are automatically created when you save the benefit plan by selecting Automatic or Manual in the Breakdown Type field. The non-monetary benefit plan breakdown records specify the estimated and actual non-financial benefits at a granular level for specific fiscal periods, such as FY16: M04 and FY16: M05. The Non-monetary Benefit Plan Breakdowns tab shows the aggregated benefits for estimated and actual non-financial benefits for each fiscal period of the demand.
Note: Converting a demand to a project or EAP entity transfers the benefit plan from the demand to the target project or EAP entity.
