I would like to ask whether there are any detail description on the planning calculation logic in addition to the user manual on the "PROJECT PLANNING CALCULATION" ?

No, user manual doies not enter into such detail.
But during our training courses, we explore this subjet. 😉
 

Hi Babynus,

Thanks for your reply. Good to know that training courses would be helpful.

Just want to check if the cases mentioned in previous post are normal or there are bugs/setting issues in the calculation. I tried to repeat a case mentioned and attached the screenshots for your reference. The task validated start date is 2021/5/7 and end date is 2021/5/20 with planning mode as soon as possible. In the assigned resources, a few have work allocated on 2021/5/21 instead, while they have capacity on 2021/5/7 such that the work can be distributed within 2021/5/7 and 2021/5/20. In the plan calculation, the planning calculation option - "Plan with overuse (infinite overbooking capacity)" is selected. Is there any issue in the calculation or settings required?

Appreciate for your advice. Thanks.

Yes, this mays be accurate.
The "Plan with overuse (infinite overbooking capacity)" will have effect only between project.
This means the resource will be planned on several project for its full capacity.
But inside same project, capacity of resource is respected, otherwise, every activity "as soon as possible" will be done in one single day 😉
So the calculation may be correct if the ressource is busy on another activity on same project.

Hi Babynus,

Many thanks for your explanation on the calculation. I think the situation you mentioned does explain for some of the cases, while for the case mentioned in previous post, for resource D and F, all the tasks assigned to them are shown in the screenshot. For resource D, all the task shown in the screenshot belongs to the same project. For resource F, except the first row, other tasks shown in the screenshot are the same project as resource D. If accordingly to your explanation, day May 7 should be able to plan workload = 1 day such that the workload would be allocated through till May20 instead of May 21, right? Please advise there is any misunderstanding. Thanks!

There seem to be something that take 0.3 days for each on may 7th.
A Meeting ?
Some already entered real work ?

Hi Babynus,

I rechecked that there are no meetings or real work entered in May, which is why I found it weird.

Thanks,
Rainbow

Seach in the DB.
If id of your resource is X,
To find real work already booked :

select * from work where idResource=X and workDate='2021-05-07';

Then to find plannd work for the resource :

select * from plannedwork where idResource=X and workDate='2021-05-07';

I searched in the DB with the following results which is the same as the work plan report.

For resource D:
 

For resource F:
 

Yesy, very strange.
Could you please try and reproduce use case on the demo ( https://demo.projeqtor.org) so that we can analyse the situation ?

I inputted the task and the resource info for the task mentioned as activity #580, validated start date = '2021-05-07' and validated end date = '2021-05-20'. However, I tried to run the calculation but the planned start date couldn't be planned on '2021-05-07'.
