Export staffing gap
There might be situations, for example a peak period of the year, when your agents cannot fulfill the forecasted resource need. Use the BPO Exchange functionality to export the gap between the forecasted agents and the internally scheduled agents to a file. The export file can then be sent to an external supplier (a BPO).
The staffing gap can be exported for today and the next seven weeks. Choose to export the gap for an individual skill or for several skills at the same time using a skill group.
NOTE The export does not consider the shrinkage defined in the forecast.
Prerequisites
- The BPO Exchange license is applied.
- You have the Staffing > BPO Exchange permission.
