Drive Activity Dates by Default

In the Open Standard

I loaded my schedule with Budget Quantities and created histograms. The BQ spread linearly as expected since the ’Drive activity dates by default’ setting on resource assignment option was selected. But I want to add labor resource (other material resource also) and the budget quantities are not spreading over the duration of activity. I have checked on my other computer, it is working. I exported in xls and for the new resource the original duration for it is zero. What must go wrong? is it SDK or a bug in P6. Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.

    Hi Kaide,

    If I understood you correctly, go to project details --> calculations tab, try to play with "Reset Original Duration and Units to Remaining" or "Reset Remaining Duration and Units to Original". I am not sure, just try this.

    Otherwise, try to check your Defaults Units/Time in Resources Window, it should not be blank or Zero. There should be a value (e.g. 8 or any value).

    Regards,

    Arnold

    Thanks Arnold!
    Default Unit/Time under Resource was zero. I changed it to 1 and now it is ok.
