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.

Hi guys

       I am wondering what the difference between ehrs  versus  hrs  when assigning a duration to a task.

There is a significant difference in the duration of the task ????

   Thanks if you can help

Hi Brad

I am assuming ehrs = estimated hours? - yes?

When resourcing a plan to set up duration modelling you must use the estimated hours.

In this way you form the triangle of Scope - Time - Money.

I use only one resource called "Hours" irrespective of the trade - I use codes to filter on the trade.

Best regards
