Which aspect of configuration influences how actuals are processed in PSA?

The aspect of configuration that influences how actuals are processed in PSA is the configuration set in the Actuals Configuration Group. This setting specifically defines how actual time, expenses, and invoices are recognized and processed within the system.

The Actuals Configuration Group allows administrators to customize how different types of actuals—such as labor and cost entries—are handled, including aspects such as calculation methods, thresholds for project costs, and rules for converting time entries into billable invoices. This directly affects the accuracy and management of financial reporting and resource utilization in projects.

While employee availability settings, utilization metrics, and financial forecasts are important in the overall project management and resource planning context, they do not directly dictate the processing of actuals. Instead, they serve more as complementary tools for enhancing project efficiency and decision-making rather than actively determining how actual data is processed in the PSA system.
