Hello ,

Explication :

Imagine we have a Labour who works 8h/day and an excavation task ,

the original duration of the task is 10 days

so ,this laber will work a total of 80h ,

If i change the original duration to 2 days ,normally this laber have to work  40h/day => 5 labers/ day

But in the table we have always 8h/day (unit/time) =>one laber only

Thank you

    Hi,Change "Duration Type" to

    Hi,

    Change "Duration Type" to "Fixed Units" in the activity and you would be able to see the changed rate. By default your "Duration Type" would be " Fixed Duration & Units".

     

    Duration Type follows following formula :

    • Remaining Duration = Remaining Units / Remaining Units/Time
    • (Original/Planned) Duration = (Budgeted/Planned) Units / (Budgeted/Planned) Units/Time

    hence changing the Duration Type affect the resource and duration calculations in the following ways :
