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 only has overload when the availability is overrun.
- 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 for resource assignments with BLD the Max. load/day field is filled, the remaining effort will be calculated automatically as follows:
- Remaining duration * Max. load/day .
- Manual changes in remaining effort will be overridden again with calculated values in the calculation of the project schedule. If you do not want this, you have to clear the Max. load/day field.
- For all other load profiles, an entry in this field will have no effect.
