Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Our team has run into an issue with negative float being calculated to a Level of Effort task.  Background: We work in a very large Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) that encompasses in excess of 30 individual projects.  These projects have multiple tasks that are logically linked from one project to another.

 

The current issue: I have a LOE that only has a SS relationship to a task within that project (with 0 Days Total Float) and a FF relationship to another task within that project (with 232 Days Total Float).  The problem is that the LOE indicates -620 Days Total Float.  There are no constraints (Start On or After, Finish On or After, etc.) assigned.  I must be missing something?
