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.

When I allocate a labour resource to an activity, the didtribution of the activity occurs on each Monday.

eg Activity = Formwork, dur=6d
Resource = carpenter @ 10 units/day

Total units allocated = 60 units,

However P6 only allocates 30 units on two Mondays, not 10 units per day over the 6d duration.

I have reviewed my user preferences/options and can’t find anything obvious that would cause this issue.

Any advice would be appreciated,

Thanks

Nick

Check the calender, it is possible your setting is set for 50% usage, i,e you get 30 instead of 60.....

have a look at your calendar (resource calendar or activity calendar) and working hours; holidays; non-working hours
