FTE calculation

[VENKITTA SUBRAMANIAN]

Clarity PPM 15.6.1 ( SaaS)

We have resources working with different daily availability rate.   Ex: India based resources at 8 hours per day and UK based resource work at 7.20 hours / per day and some other countries with 7.50 hours per day.

All of the resources are aligned to Standard calendar (default).

When I changed the Unit of Measure from Hours to FTE, it is showing less than 1 FTE for the daily availability less than 8 hours  and the FTE is showing more than 1 when the availability is 9 hours per day

Please let me know how the FTE is calculated?  Is it always 8 hours regardless of the resource calendar?  Do I have to maintain different calendars for each availability rate like 7.2, 7.5, 9 hours?

Any help/pointer is greatly appreciated

Thanks

Thanks Joxi for the quick response

I did go through the links but how do I get 1 FTE for resources with 7.20 hours availability per day?

HI Venkitta,
What are the shifts of the calendar set as Standard Calendar?
Only 1 can be set as Standard.
1 FTE will be calculated for the resources whose shifts are aligned with the one marked as Standard
