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.

Hello Planners,

Let's talk about Activity A, "Task dependant", on which Resource A is being allocated; duration is 5 days, budgeted units are 40h.

Project is set to recalculate allocation actual units and cost when actual duration changes.

I am updating the activity by %Duration.

When Task Duration is "Fixed duration and units" or "Fixed duration and units/time", updating the activity to 50% will set the actual and remaining units to 16.

When Task Duration is set to "Fixed units" or "Fixed Units/time", updating the activity to 50% will set the  remaining units to 16, but let the actual units to 0.

Can somebody explain this behavior? Does P6 have somewhere a new functionality that I have not discovered yet?

Thank you,

Alexandre
