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.

Dear All,
If you could tell how this calculation is.
If default units/time is 8/d
calander is 6x8HR.
then suppose there are activities as below.
Activity Duratn BudgetedUnits ActualUni RemainingUnit/time
Marking 02 16 16 16
Excavatn 4 32 32 32
Piping 10 320 320 32
Concrete 02 160 160 80
Columns
upto Glvl 25 800 800 32
The first marking activity default units/time is multiplied but other activities how are the budgeted units, actual units and especially remaining units /time values coming when there is only one single resource assigned with default units/time is 8/d.
thanks in advance.

Ask , Shazia Khan,
Ramadaan Kareem,
Original Duration*Default Hrs=Budgeted units
But it is changing for other activities.
Piping OD=10 BU=320 AU=320 and Remaining Units/time=32
Concrete OD=15 BU=480 AU=480 and Remaining Units/time=32
Only few of the activities have completed not all and only one common resource with default units is 8 hrs/day
How is the BU and AU and Ru/t getting changed.
Thanks in advance.

Hi-Shahab,

note that,

units/time * od= Budgeted Units.


cal. 6 days per week 8 hr per day,

please check your cal time prieod


8 hr /day 6* 8 =48 hr / week and 26 *8 = per months and 26*12 = / years make this correct setting and also check

your local holy day cal. and correct working time for per year.

check your Global which cal you are using this must be tick,

Budgeted units calculated based on activity
duration.

if you have 16 ,16 mean 1 resource assign to this activity and duration is 2 days, 2 * 8 = 16 same as 32 means 1 resource assign for this activity and original duration is 4 days 4 *8 = 32 units where as 8 is the unit/time and 4 is your activity original duration.

Hope it is work for you.
