Assigning Task mid-way during somebody's absence in MS Project
I have a task A allocated to John and the duration is 20 days. Assuming task A starts on day 1 and completes in day 20. Then on day 3 John informs me that he will be unavailable from day 12 to day 15...

When you say "show availability" if you are referring to the Resource Availability table on the Resource Information window, you can certainly do that but you will also have to take other action to actually make the assignment change effective.
I would simply assign Susan to the task at 100% and then manually edit John and Susan's work in the Task or Resource Usage views (i.e. manually edit each resource's daily work or edit the assignment Start and Finish for each resource).
Hope this helps.
