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,

Is there a setting in Primavera that will allow the resource loading (Historgram) to pickup remaining non labor units instead of remaining labor units? I'm using PL/SQL Procedure and unix scripting to load a csv file from SAP to Primavera. When the data upload is completed the activities with non labor resources was all resides in non labor unit, but when the planners scheduled those activities, the labor unit will be filled with everything with what the non labor unit have.

 

Upload completed

Hi Aziz,

P6 can distinguished between 'Labour' and 'Non Labour' based on your inputs on the resources module. When you defined your recources, there is  a column or field called "Resource type" here you enter whether the resource is Labour or Non Labour. When you completed resource loading your programme, you click the icon resource profile on top and right click the screen where you see the Resource Profile, then click "activity usage profile options" a pop out menu will appear and at the right top corner you can see Labour and Non Labour, here you can select by checking what you want to show in your resource profile.

Let me know if you have anymore questions.

Regards,

Daniel
