hi there,
I have a question regarding the quantity to complete field.
in every activity containing at least 2 resources, even if the task is completed at 100%, with actual dates and all, the quantity to complete stays at some level, and does not come down to 0. it of course matches every other field, like the quantity at completion and quantity to date, but why is there any quantity left to complete in here ?
almost every task of our planning is marked with cost accounts, which helps me export to DBF a daily hour volume, and this non completion results in tasks that are never finished, and my percentages based on hours are wrong because of this.
am I missing something here ?
I’ve seen that every finished task has a UPT value at 0, except for multi-resources tasks. what the hell ?

it seems that the multi-resource is not causing this, since others multi-resource tasks have been correctly completed.
but in the resource floating window, I have a res lag/duration with something in it. when I put 0 in res lag it does nothing, but when I put 0 in res duration, it now works and the task completes normally with no quantity to complete.
what’s this res duration exactly ? - 0Alexandre Faulx-Briole ·Johnny,
when a resource is "driving", you can enter a resource duration value to indicate how long the resource will work on that particular task (say: 4 days on a 5 days task), and a lag to say that the resource will start working on day 2 of the task duration
a "driving" resource’s workload will let P3 to calculate the task duration by dividing Budgeted Qty by Units per day; when the resource is not "driving", P3 multiplies the task duration by Unite per day to calculate Budgeted Quantity
