Hi guys, In P6 8.1, I found something strange with activity suspension; when I have updated the schedule with DD – 14/Feb/14 I found one activity to be suspended from 28/Feb/14 till 15/Mar/14. After entering the suspension and resume dates, when I reschedule the activity moves and it shows that the remaining job to be performed only after 15/Mar/14 onwards. It doesn’t shows the work to be performed between data date and suspension date (14/Feb/14 ~ 28/Feb14). This is affecting the resource distribution as well; have any of you experienced this? Advise if you have any suggestions to fix / get rid-off this problem. Regards, Abilash

    Hi Abhi,- If the

    Hi Abhi,

    - If the suspend/resume functionality is used then the early start is set equal to the resume date, its design for work in this     way only .

    Also you should know;
     
    - The early finish is calculated using the resume date and the remaining duration.
    - If the suspend date is entered without a resume date then, P6 ignores the suspend date.
    - Units and costs are not spread over the period of suspension.
    - P6 calculates an actual duration for all activities based on the amount of non-suspended time.
    - The amount of time that an activity’s progress is suspended is generally deducted from the total duration.
