Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hello;

I am starting to add budgeted labor units to my schedule.  The activities have a duration type of "Fixed Duration and Units/Time.

I set up my resource id's and assigned them to the activities.  When I go to add the budgeted labor units of say 100 , the budgetd labor units column says 80.  When I look at the detail I see the electrician has 100 budgeted labor units.  

User Preferences are: 

Resource Anaysis Tab

Opened Projects Only

Remaining Early dates

Custom Role Limit

Calculations Tab:

Recalcutate the units...

Assignements are both set to ask

Project Settings are: Calculations

Link Budget at completion

Reset Remaining Durations and Units to Original

Subtract Actual from At Completion

Link Actual to date and actual this period units and cost.

I cannot find that this is a setting feature - the resource calander is a standard 5 day workweek - and I have created new calendars.   Is there a setting Im missing?
