Monthly Duration Not Giving Fixed Monthly Hours

In the Open Standard

Hi guys,

I have the following settings:

1. In Calendar, monthly hours are 150

2. Duration Format (in User Preferences) is set to Months.

Now, when i enter activity duration to 1 month,  I see 150 monthly hours, which is fine.  But when i put 2 months duration, i get 166 hours in first month and 134 and second month. (although the total is 300, which is fine)

Similarly, if i put 3 month or 4 month duration, i am not getting fixed 150 hours for each month.   

Fixed hours should not be expected for each month? And how can i fix the monthly hours?

 

Thanks

    Admin preferences

    Time Period Tab

    Hours/day = 0

    hours/week = 0

    Hours/Month =150

    Hours per year = 1800

    you will have to either uncheck here where it says assign calendar to specify the number of work hours for each time period

    or make sure that the hours in each month in your calendar is 150

    Hi Zoltan,Thank you for your

    Hi Zoltan,

    Thank you for your reply.

    I did exactly how you said. But i am getting 150 hours for 1 month duration and 2 month duration. As i increase to 3 months or more, then i get different values for each month.

     

    Just, I put 1 in Day and Week as it does not let it be 0 or blank

     

    Any further help please?

    how can you put in 1 day when

    how can you put in 1 day when the planning unit is months ?

    you are going to get different numbers because not ALL months have the same number of working days.

    the only work around is to set the hours in the calendar  

    so when a month has 29 days you make sure that the total hours in that calendar is 150

    now when you have a month where there are 30 or 31 days you will have to make 1 or 2 days as non working days so you still get 150 hours per month
