forecast dates

[Former Member]

Dear Gurus,

Given below is a scenario

An activity has a duration of 10 days and work of 100 m3. start date: 1st Apr & finish date is 10th Apr. And activity is linearly distributed.On 5th Apr, if confirmation is 40 m3 of work completion instead of a planned completion of 50 m3, then on re-scheduling, system should propose a new forecast finish date for the activity, keeping the planned dates same.

pls suggest the configuration/customization required.

Regards,

VDS

system will update only planned dates

what you need to do is copy these planned dates to the forecast dates - there is a std function which you can use via the menu path in the planing board

Thanks for the reply.

What I need to know is, on the basis of confirmations ( as illustrated in the example in last post),

can the system propose a forecast finish date on its own after the next schedule update??

If yes, what are the relevant settings??

hi

while scheduling the activities the system will consider the scheduling type and the relationship maintain in between the activities and if you run the forecast dates for the activities the system will call calculate and propose the dates.
