P3e advise for Beginner

A one minute lag seems to have been introduced into my schedule. I plan in days, with either a one-working day weekend or 5-working day mid-week calendar being assigned. The shift patterns are 08:00 – 17:00 for both. However activities with a one-day duration started extending over two dates. When I looked at the start and finish minutes, instead of starting at 08:00 the activity was starting at 08:01 and finishing the following day at 08:01. When this additional minute is manually removed the finish time reverts back to 17:00. My lag between activities is always in full days. The resources allocated to the activities also have the same shift times.

As I have only been doing P3 planning for a few months, this has stumped me.

Please help.....

    Paula,

    Do you have resources assigned to the task ? If it is a driving resource, there may be a rounding issue if there is a very small units per time where it causing your remaining duration to be recalculated to not be a whole day.

    You may want to check if your duration type for the activity is "Fixed duration and Units" if you do not want your duration to be recalculated.

    Regards,
    Bill
