Future bucket planning

Hey mark,
what version of Primavera are you using... if you are using P6 you can allocate future resorces to an activity then define their distribution over a time period. in P6 this is possible but it is very risk, every time you schedule or run the program the resources are evenlly redistributed...
try using resource curves... theyare much better...

Hi.
1) Assign resource to activity
2) Go to Assignment window to apply resource curve or manually planning unit.

Is it right that Primavera will redistribute unit after we update progress and reschedule? If so, the "future bucket planning" function is useless.

I just know that "actual unit" is spreaded evenly. It was not populated as we planning.
I’m not sure about the remaining units. I guess it can stay as we planning.

Dear Khuong,
the distribution of resources would be even,your problem is eventually solved whenmostof this resource is consumed or installed. i usually sort out this problem while building my baseline schedule.... i never would have an activity with a duration longer than 14 days. this will evenly distribute resources yet due to this short duration and problem with distribution is finalized and sorted at actual complete. there will beno persisting error for a long period.
