Which module should you enable first to track the utilization of employees in Projects?

To track employee utilization in the Projects module, the system needs data about the employees, their roles, and their capacity. This information is managed within the Workforce module. The Projects module integrates with the Workforce module to access the employee and job dimensions. Therefore, the Workforce module must be enabled and configured first to provide the foundational employee data that the Projects module will then use for resource assignment, cost calculation, and utilization tracking.

A. Enabling Projects before Financials is possible, but Financials is not the direct prerequisite for employee utilization data; Workforce is.
B. Enabling Financials before Projects does not provide the necessary employee-specific data required for utilization tracking.
D. Enabling Projects before Workforce is the incorrect order. Without Workforce, the Projects module lacks the employee and job details needed to track utilization.
