If we enable the resources skillset feature in our NetSuite account, then we can enable to add information to employee and vendor records about the skills and expertise and then search that information for the best-matched project resource. After installing the skillset module, we can see the skills and expertise tab in the employee and the vendor record, and it does not affect the other records. Skill, skill level, skill category, and skill set are the resources skillset related records.
We can create different skill categories based on the resource’s skills. Each skill category is available as a subtab on the skill and expertise tab of the employee or vendor record. We can also set the skill level of the resource’s skill under the skill and expertise tab.
In the resources allocation chart/Grid, we can use the resources skill set to display search results to list several pieces of information on each resource that the resource manager selects most qualified resources, including Labor cost, skillset score, and specific skill level. We will enable the permission to create the skill, skill level, skill category, and skill set for the project manager role and the employee Center role also. Configure the setup for the project manager role the employee Center role.
SkillSet Scores
SkillSet Scores are only displayed in the search results when searching for resources through the Resource Allocation chart. The SkillSet score is determined by a resource’s skill level in the requested skills. Each skill is assigned a number based on the resource’s skill level. If more than one skill is requested, The higher the SkillSet score the more closely matched the resource is to the required skills. The more skills are added to a search the more difficult it is to match a resource with a high SkillSet score.
