If some of your activities require unique future period allocations because planned work cannot be accurately distributed using custom resource curves, you can manually enter future period budgeted and remaining units values for assignments in the Resource Usage Spreadsheet (Resource Assignments and Activities windows).

Hi Khuong,

You can use ’Future period bucket planning’ in P6 to manually allocate resource units for each month. But this proccess isn’t automated and every time you update your schedule - you have to review the future buckets values and they (based on my experience) are very sensitive peace of data just check the related section in P6 Help. So theoretically you have ability to control resources distribution the way you want but it’s very hard in practice. I gave up doing this on weekly basis.



Regards,

Andrew

I don’t know any P6 function to provide this. Maybe someone else has an idea.

Can we make the process automatically? Something like if we do not use all budget unit of this month, the rest will be brought to next month only, not spread evenly to remaining duration. The same process will be repeated for next month.

Now we have to reassign it manually.

You can do this with the web module. With the normal P6 you’ll need two assignments.
