Hi all,
I am with an interesting question today.
I want to give an generic resource for all activities during the scheduling time and how can replace the resource in later stage after strating the project.
I am using P5 Enterprise.
Eg;
Activity 01 - resource assigened is - labor and project started on 01/01/08 the Data date is 5th jan. Now i want to replace with labor with Fitter without affecting any % complete or actual units on the project. Is there any idea ??
Regards
Suresh

I don’t really understand your question: Labour worked e.g. 6 hours and now you say the fitter was it? Then you’ll remove the actual units --> replace by fitter --> assign the actual units again --> Schedule. In reports you’ll find the actuals under the data date.
Within the window "Assign resources" you’ll find the icon on the right side.
Was this your question?

Sorry if the qst made you confused.
All i want to know is how can replace one resource with another in the middle of a project.
Eg:
Software Engineer (Jose) is assigned for acivity 01 . When duration of the task became 50% he left job. Now i want use another guy (Eg: Alex) in replacement of jose. How can i make it possible without affecting the performance % complete or some other crap result.
Hope you got my qstn.
Cheers

It depends on the actuals:
- no actual units: just replace A by B (icon just above the help sign within the assign resources window)
- With actual units: The most accurate would be: Put an end-date to the assignment and make a new one with the new resource. To replace A by B, you’ll have to remove the actual units first - and later assign them to the new resource.
Hope this will help
Regards and a nice "day of work"
Dieter
