I'm really hoping someone can help me out with this one.
I have a new prgramme that contains activities with multiple labour resources, as numerous people have an input into each activity. However, they all have different input levels, an example....
I have a design activity to produce a specification, and 40 hours assigned to the task. The Mech designer is assigned 30 of these, the lead designer 8, as a checking function and the document controller the remaing 2.
Now, if on progress update, I say this activity is 50% complete, P6 dosesn't distribute the hours burned proportionaly, but splits the 20 hours burned equally across all 3 resources, so the mech engineer has used 6.7 with 23.3 remaining. The lead designer has used 6.7 with only 1.3 remaining, and worse still, the doc controller has used 6.7 of their 2 hours assigned.
There are something like 2500 activities in a similar situation and it would be very time consuming to go through each activity and update each resource manually. What I am hoping is that I am missing a switch or setting that will tell the programme to equally distribute the burned hours proportionally across all the resources, and that some very knowledgable person here is going to point me to it!
Many thanks for reading.
