Suspend

In Primavera SureTrak:

When work begins on an activity, you assign it an actual start date. If work on the activity is interrupted, you record a suspend date (the date work stopped) and, if you know when work is likely to start again, a resume date. SureTrak schedules remaining duration after the resume date.

You cannot interrupt work that has not started; an activity must have an actual start date to have a suspend date. If you know in advance that an activity will be interrupted and you want to show a period of nonwork in the middle of it, create two separate activities and link them with a finish to start relationship, with lag time equal to the length of the interruption.

Suretrak allows for only one suspension per activity, other software allows multiple suspensions.

I prefer to show suspension of work by splitting the activity if the suspension is due to a delay event, and in adittion inserting a delay activity for the record.

Thank you raffel

By your opinion its is a useful command >.???

Arun,

Yes, it is useful, it allows you to show progress as it was, without the need to create an additional activity to show the stoppage of work or split.

Note that I have an exception, in case there was a delay event that can be the cause of a claim I prefer to split the activity by creating a new activity for the delay event and another aditional activity for the split to follow the delay event.

It is not uncommon to see schedules with activities showing extremely long durations when the scheduler should have shown a work stoppage but did not.

Best regards,
Rafael
