Hi guys, this is my first post here.

I am using Primavera P6 16.2 for my MSc thesis. Current problem that I have is that I cannot assign material resource for specific day of the activity, the fields are gray instead of white, as in few YouTube videos I watched - In this case, I want to assign Concrete for the last day of the activity, and Reinforcment for the first day of the activity. I've tried to change max Units, and tried to change something in Resource settings, but with no success.

And one more question, is it possible to assign same resource to multiple activites with the same quantities?

Kind regards,

Danilo

    Quite a few reasons this happens. Mostly it is the duration type of the activity.

    You can only manually enter future period values for activities with a duration type of Fixed

    Duration & Units and Fixed Duration & Units/Time

    Several ways to assign the same quantity of a resource to multiple activities.  If you have authority in the resource dictionary, change the default allocation to your required quantity. Then filter the activities you want to allocate the resource to, then CTRL A, then right click and chose Assign -> Resources.
