_DT466Ressourcenzuordnung_MaxLoadDefault

The value entered here has an impact on the following load profiles:

• CAP
  • The Max. load/day value is a threshold for schedule calculation which is exceeded if necessary, e.g. if duration or requested dates are predefined for the respective task.
  • If no Max. load/day has been set, the entire available capacity left is available for planning.
  • The mere exceedance of the Max. load/day limit does not yet present an overload, as overload is only determined on the basis of the available capacity of a resource. The resource is only overloaded when the availability is exceeded.
  • The calculation of the schedule works with the Max. load/day parameter as follows (provided that there are no further restrictions on the resource assignment, like e.g. requested dates):
    • The required duration of the resource assignment used in scheduling is calculated from Remaining effort / Max. load/day.
    • This duration is the initial value for capacity adjustment.
      • Example: Remaining effort of the resource assignment = 100, Max. load/day = 5. The duration of the resource assignment is calculated as follows. 100/5 = 20 days.
      • If several resources are assigned to the task, the task duration is determined as the maximum duration from all resource assignments.
• BLD
  • If the Max. load / day field is filled in resource assignments with BLD, the Remaining effort is automatically calculated as follows:
    • Remaining effort * Max. load/day.
    • During the calculation of the project schedule, manual changes to the Remaining effort will be overridden with calculated values again. If this is not desired, you have to empty the Max load/day field.
• For all other load profiles, an entry in this field will have no effect.
