Hi guys

       I am wondering what the difference between ehrs  versus  hrs  when assigning a duration to a task.

There is a significant difference in the duration of the task ????

   Thanks if you can help

Brad,

in MSP vocabulary, "e" stands for "elapsed"; 1 day equals 8 hours, and 1 "e"day equals 24 hours

a 5-day task (#1) created on Sunday will start the following Monday and finish on Friday evening, and a 5-eday task (#2) will start Sunday morning and finish on Friday morning

a resource assigned to task #1 will work 40 hours, the same resource assigned to task #2 will work 120 hours

Use task #1 for regular work at work hours, and task #2 for curing concrete, drying paintings, ...

Hi Brad

I am assuming ehrs = estimated hours? - yes?

When resourcing a plan to set up duration modelling you must use the estimated hours.

In this way you form the triangle of Scope - Time - Money.

I use only one resource called "Hours" irrespective of the trade - I use codes to filter on the trade.

Best regards
