Hi guys, this is my first post here.
I am using Primavera P6 16.2 for my MSc thesis. Current problem that I have is that I cannot assign material resource for specific day of the activity, the fields are gray instead of white, as in few YouTube videos I watched - In this case, I want to assign Concrete for the last day of the activity, and Reinforcment for the first day of the activity. I've tried to change max Units, and tried to change something in Resource settings, but with no success.
And one more question, is it possible to assign same resource to multiple activites with the same quantities?
Kind regards,
Danilo
Screenshot down below

always works if you follow my advice
For first question I've assigned resource curve (made my own in resource curve menu).
For second, I've set default value for resource units, then selecting multiple activities, and assigning that resource to them.
what worked like a charm ? which solution ?
Thank you guys, it worked like a charm!
Part 1 answer
assign a resource curve to do what you want as far as adjusting how the resource will be distributed
Part 2 answer
highlight all activities right click
assign then resources
Several ways to assign the same quantity of a resource to multiple activities. If you have authority in the resource dictionary, change the default allocation to your required quantity. Then filter the activities you want to allocate the resource to, then CTRL A, then right click and chose Assign -> Resources.
Quite a few reasons this happens. Mostly it is the duration type of the activity.
You can only manually enter future period values for activities with a duration type of Fixed
Duration & Units and Fixed Duration & Units/Time
