I am fairly new to Asta Project Planner, I am troubled that the contractor has submitted a schedule indicating activities with remining durations indicate finish dates prior to the data date.
For example, one activity indicated a remaing duration of 10days; however, the activity was shown completing on September 27, 2017 or prior the progress date or data date of OCT 1, 2017.
I should note the activity finishing September 27, 2017 was also indicating -20 days float (however the completion date of the project was maintained). I am aware there is an option under reschedule (Negative Float Applies to Chain) to show this true status of the schedule which is behind schedule.
However i am wordering why this option is available, it goes against everything i thought i knew about scheduling. It is also appears that the Contractor was not aware of this option and/or just didn't reveiw the update before submittal.
I dont recall seeing any discussions on the PP forum concering this issues so i would like to open it up for discussions.
Thanks
Dan
Hi Daniel,
Are you reviewing a PDF or soft copy of the schedule?
I suspect that the file has not been rescheduled to the progress update date.
Hi Daniel
I do not recognise that situation in any aspect of asta Powerproject.
The software does not schedule negative float but flags up a warning that it has been created and will not continue until the blockage has been removed.
Best regards
