Time and Expenses: Employee Utilization Visibility

Starting in MYOB Acumatica 2026.1.1, you can use the Employee Utilization (EP408000) inquiry form to view how employee time is allocated across project and non-project activities. This visibility helps you understand how the available labor capacity is used across billable and non-billable activities, supporting better resource planning and workload balancing.

Attention: This inquiry is available only if either the Time Management or Advanced Financials feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.

Key Benefits

With the Employee Utilization (EP408000) inquiry form, you can:

  • Allocate resources more effectively by identifying underutilized or overloaded employees.
  • Increase profitability by monitoring how much of employees’ available time is billable.
  • Support accurate forecasting and capacity planning by analyzing utilization trends over time.
  • Improve project visibility by reviewing detailed breakdowns of billable and non-billable activities.

Exploring Employee Utilization

On the Employee Utilization (EP408000) form, you can view metrics that show how employees allocate their time between project and non-project work, as well as across billable and non-billable activities. The metrics are calculated based on employees’ released time activities within the specified period.

In the Show Employees box, you can select how the system displays and calculates data—either for employees who’ve created at least one time activity or for all employees.
