Big problem : planning not working as expected - not able to plan tasks

Hello,

I've got a problem with planning. I have defined a main project and subprojects, assigned resources to the project and tasks with dates and rates compatible with the workload validated. I checked also that globally no resource is assigned at more than 100% on all projects.
However, when I try to calculate planning for the project (the goal is to get the workload assigned so each resource gets its assignation and manager can see resource availability in the reports), the tasks where resources are assigned work cannot be planned with an error.

Here is an example of error found :



In this example, the green tasks have resources in assignation with no workload assigned, tasks in purple have at least 1 resource with workload assigned. In this case, all tasks with resources with workload assigned are planned at a date in the future, and only planned on 1 day while all tasks should be running on multiple days.

No problem is found until at least 1 resource gets assigned work in a task. But without that assignation, there is no possibility to plan anything correctly.

Do you have any clue on how to solve this problem ? I may have done something wrong but I have made tests on a test server without this kind of problem before, so I'm a little bit lost.

Thanks a lot !

Hello,

Thank you for the reactivity. I just tried to solve the first problem by playing with affectation dates. I'm pretty sure the dates I entered where correct, but just in case...

Looking at task "Etablissement BOM", it is assigned to Jean-Yves for 0.5 day of workload. In the project, Jean-Yves was affected from the 3rd of March to the 4th of March, at 50% rate.
I changed Jean-Yves's affectation from the 2nd of March to the 7th of March, still with 50% rate (to keep global affectation <= 100%).
In the task, I have 0.5d of work assigned to Jean-Yves, with planning constraint "as late as possible" and end date to the 4th of March. When I try to recalculate planning, I still have the same error, and activity is planned on 1 day on the 8th of March (i.e. finally the open day after the validated end of the task).

Is there any other idea to look at to be able to solve this problem ?

Thanks !

Well I reread the manual before answering. I didn't saw anything bad in my affectation (but I must be wrong obviously!).

So here are some screen captures to show you the affectation and try to find where I'm wrong. I'm still concentrated on Jean-Yves's case on Etablissement BOM task.

Jean-Yves's affectation summary (still not all projects/tasks entered in projeqtor) :



Jean-Yves's resource planning for the period :



Jean-Yves's resource affectation to the task Etablissement BOM :



For this one, I tried both 50% rate and 100% rate in assignment, but the result is still the same.

Are these screenshots sufficient for you to find where I'm wrong ?

Thank you again for you help !
