Hi Suresh

It depends on the actuals:

- no actual units: just replace A by B (icon just above the help sign within the assign resources window)

- With actual units: The most accurate would be: Put an end-date to the assignment and make a new one with the new resource. To replace A by B, you’ll have to remove the actual units first - and later assign them to the new resource.

Hope this will help

Regards and a nice "day of work"

Assign second resource and allocate remaining days, remove remaining days from original resource.

Hi Diater,

Sorry if the qst made you confused.

All i want to know is how can replace one resource with another in the middle of a project.



Eg:

Software Engineer (Jose) is assigned for acivity 01 . When duration of the task became 50% he left job. Now i want use another guy (Eg: Alex) in replacement of jose. How can i make it possible without affecting the performance % complete or some other crap result.



Hope you got my qstn.

Cheers

Suresh

Hi Suresh

I don’t really understand your question: Labour worked e.g. 6 hours and now you say the fitter was it? Then you’ll remove the actual units --> replace by fitter --> assign the actual units again --> Schedule. In reports you’ll find the actuals under the data date.

Within the window "Assign resources" you’ll find the icon on the right side.

Was this your question?

Regards

Dieter
